Mine Train is a steel roller coaster located at Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington, Texas.
This roller coaster is claimed to be the first tubular steel roller coaster that forever changed basic steel roller coaster designs. This particular coaster has three lift hills and two tunnels. Originally the ride was known as the Run-A-Way Mine Train from 1966 to 1995, making it the oldest roller coaster in the park. The ride's climax is the final drop after the third lift hill where the track dives into a tunnel below the park's Caddo Lake.The old style Arrow Dynamics cars are made so the ride operator has to open them up manually. Since the Opening Day 2007 Mine train is now a American Coaster Enthusiast Ace Coaster
