These weren't railroad tracks, but rather for animal/people guided ore carts. AI said: "They ran narrow gauge RR up to the Leavick Mill a few miles below, but beyond that was a tramway and an ore cart rail system. Apparently they used gravity to gently brake full carts down to the mill, and then brought them back up by hand or with a burro. Also the tramway carried up wood and charcoal as rocks ran down through gravity feed."
