Looks like a lot of old 570's.. not bad machines but never held up like the 992's. Good for lighter work/ loading off of a stockplie. Hard digging. CATS

Thanks for posting this amazing view of earthmoving history.

Looks like they were moving the old River King to it's last pit. Nice footage of the shovel on the move!

Some of the only available footage of this machine. Shame it is such poor quality. Fascinating nonetheless The enormous demand for energy in this country has not diminished and putting an end to fossil fuel production is completely absurd when you watch the size and complexity of the operation needed to produce so much energy.
