Supplies for the mine are stored at the loading dock and brought into the mine when needed in empty coal cars.
1. A thrower for switching the tracks, and spare track
2. Compressed air hoses
3. Chain for a Coal Conveyer or Miner's Jalopy
4. A 15 HP Electric Motor to run a conveyor or shaker chute
5. Portable Blow Fan to bring additional ventilation to a chamber
6. Conveyor pans used to extend a conveyor
7. Mine timber, cap pieces or wedges and track supports, all made of hard wood. Some of the mine timber has had the bark removed, as "peeled" timber lasts longer in the mine.
8. Safety cable, previously used on the Lackawanna Mine Tour car
9. Boards used in mine construction as brattice (partitions) and lashing boards
10. Barrel Pulleys used to keep the wire rope from rubbing against the timber on the curve of the mine slope
