20. Trallebane

Trallebanen blei bygd då eit engelsk selskap, H. H. Vivian Co., leide Flåt gruve frå 1884 til 1894. Banen gjekk langs kollen i vestlig retning frå Gamlegruva, tvers over Flatebygd-vegen og gjennom det 38 meter lange skeidehuset. Steinen blei skudd i vaggar på skinnegangar. Ofte blei det slurva med skinnelegginga, og det var tungt å sku vaggane. lkkje sjelden spora dei av.

I dag ser ein platået til trallebanen på røysa bak grunnmuren frå det tidlegare kontorbygget. 

Tramway (from 1884, the old mine) 

The tramway was built during the time when the British firm of H. H. Vivian Co. leased the mining operation, from 1884 to 1894. The tramway went along the top of the hill in a westward direction from the old mine, across the road to Flatebygd and through the 38 meter long crushing house. Waste rock was pushed along the tracks in wagons. The tracks were often badly constructed.

This made the pushing very hard, and the wagons were frequently derailed. Today the tramway plateau can be seen on the rock pile behind the foundation of the earlier office building.
