Strip Mining for Coal
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Almost 20 years since the strip mine began and it is still going strong here in Stellarton, Nova Scotia. In another five or six years time the mining should be complete and will mark the end of over 200 years of coal mining here in Pictou County.

Damn, those machines look like toys from that distance. Perspective is key!
Great footage. thanks for sharing. As I've never worked in mining before, I don't understand exactly what these trucks are doing. Looks like some of the trucks are hauling coal out, going up a haul road? and there's other trucks moving material from one place to another, near the bottom of the pit area? Is that just a sort of overburden or spoils they are getting out of the way? I guess I don't have an eye for it. I can't tell by looking at it, which material is coal and which material is maybe something else.
Why don’t they just use a diamond pick

Still getting coal Jim ! Put your microphone in a sock, foam or get a better microphone lots of wind noise. I am glad to find out where the coal comes from. Thanks
Those Cat 777G Dump trucks - do they have radiator shutters fitted for the Canadian cold?

Radiators are heat rejection devices. Why would you want to shield them from cold?

If it is too cold the engine will not come up to operating temp.

They have to reclaim the land. Not sure what it will look like when completed.
