> > > > > I have mapped it out, read all the posts... I just can't figure out how to get through the tunnel to get the cart. I can't find the sandstone caverns, or the miner with the boulder on his leg. 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.

You actually need to meet up with the mine cart one move north of that ("You are now at the central railway. The railway line coming from the south branches off..." would be the description there most of the time). Get there as quickly as you can after jumping from the cart.

What I was talking about with the pickaxe has to do with making a path through the stalagmites nearby.
