I have the bomb, but it doesn't seem useful for this. Spoilers are great! Please help! All the hints are not doing it for me!

Look for that exit point first (it's the only point further south that you can get to at this point that has rails running by), then find the quickest way to get there after jumping from the mine cart. You'll need to do something else with the pickaxe first.

If you've done that, there should be another option to try with the mine cart itself.
