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.
