What is TramR

TramR is the abbreviated form of Trammer.The word trammer comes from mining. Trammer's were people who worked underground in mines. They did the hard work of pushing (and driving) mine trams (mine cars) filled with materials like Coal, ore or waste rock. Their primary job was to transport material and it was physically demanding manual labor job often involving pushing heavy carts by hand."The Trammer"
Down in the dark, where the daylight won’t go,
The trammer walks steady, and steady, and slow.
Hands on the cart, feet black with the grime,
He counts not the hours, he measures by time.
Pushing the weight through the coal-choked air,
No voice but the wheels, no hope but a prayer.
Taught only facts, with no room for a dream,
A cog in the system, a spoke in the scheme.
Born for the rails, both in body and mind,
He’s schooled to obey, not question or find.
But deep in his chest, a flicker still glows—
A thought left untrammed, a wild seed that grows.
-- Short poem written by AI, inspired by the "trammer" figure both in the literal mining sense and in the metaphorical sense that Charles Dickens alludes to in Hard Times (written in 1854).
