One of the best dragline videos anywhere.

Wow a part2? Even better than the first. Incredible footage again. Thank you

God that's amazing footage!! I really can appreciate that a great deal. Thank you so very much for posting this. Its historic value is huge for Southern Indiana!!

That was about the best perspective I have seen of one of these draglines operating, from the operator's cab. The operator must have had a sore left foot, or leg. He had the top of that coal seam almost spotless down to where he was working.

I love to hear them swing motors.

These videos are priceless. Unfortunately, there will be a day when the last 2570w ceases to operate and videos like these will keep them in memory

I was just thinking how much great old footage like this must still be on VHS tapes laying around in boxes of old junk in peoples garages and basements, there must be a huge amount of absolute gold video footage out there that isn't recorded anywhere else at all and will probably never get rescued and transferred to a new medium before the old magnetic tapes degrade too much to be recovered again.

A swinging good operator...........

Good old school Vid - cheeers mate

That's cool, Frenchy3055! Do you still operate? That Bear Run Mine they've opened down there is quite an impressive outfit.

The chains so tight at 3min. still able to bounce.

The 8900 is 150 cubic yards and the 2570 is between 100 to 110 cubic yards
