Rather than go through the mine, go around to the right, where there is a second entrance. The cart is before that entrance - the guards between the entrance and the cart.
You do not need to go inside the mine. This <mine car> stands outside, near the entrance. Just use it.

Description
In their haste the Crusade will make one fatal error: forgetting to check the mine cars. You are to return to Havenshire Mine, east of here, and locate the mine car that my minions have planted near the outhouse. Climb inside the mine car and a Scarlet miner will unwittingly see to it that you are placed safely behind enemy lines. Once aboard one of their ships, use the cannons against them! SLAUGHTER THEM ALL! Call the Scourge gryphon from the cannon when you are ready to return.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
