  Is this the machine that buried the Big Hog 3850b. Ive seen some pictures of a dragline burying that behemoth.

  It’s truly baffling to watch that enormous machine walk onto that barge,which is so low to the waterline, and yet it doesn’t sink down hardly at all. That’s some serious floatation!! 😳

  I'd think they would have had professionals plan & prepare much better, when moving such an expensive & (basically) irreplaceable mining shovel as this one. If this shovel was repaired, I imagine the repair process would have taken weeks or months, & would have been quite expensive.

  Lord won't you take me back to Muhlenburg County... sorry my son but you're too late in asking, Mr Peabody's coal train just hauled it away. I absolutely love big iron like this, and know and value the energy it provides as well as the work, but Kentucky's a beautiful place to have huge pits like this, although I think they do try to reclaim the land after mining. Stay safe out there fellas and fellettes.

  I know it’s like the guy was filming at Chernobyl and the radiation was eating the video. Can’t imagine why it’s so terrible. It’s all great rare footage though. I had video equipment back then and it was important to keep the recording heads clean and properly aligned. Guess he didn’t know that there was a tracking adjustment

  Dad hauled many loads of coal while working for Illinois Central out of the strip pits in S IL,. I was about 8 and Dad took me down to see the biggest shovel built, The Captain outside of Pinckneyville IL, I got to see other shovels too, in New Athens, Freeburg, Marissa, Dad had a pass so to speak for us, it would take hours to load a whole train and the mine boss would BS with the RR workers, this was back in the late 60's to late 70's, so when he drove down there we'd get "taxi" so to speak to get a real good view of the big Tonka toys. Sad the Captain burned up.

  Why did this and the machines like it all operating around the USA not brown out the electric grid? I know some - not all - were producing coal for electricity, but their use and retirement (plus or minus) does not seem to have had any impact on the grid. Same with all the electric-fired blast furnaces of the rust belt.

  Big hog (The huge shovel in the video) was built by Bucyrus Erie as a 3850 type. After being sent to work at an open pit mine owned by Peabody coal company, Big hog would work there for a long time until driving into a big hole. After getting damaged in the hole, Big Hog was buried underneath a lot of dirt. R.I.P Big Hog

  @@TomokosEnterprize according to the book “Power Shovels” - "Originally shipped in April 1968, it was the 12th out of the 15 Marion 5761 shovels to be built. Sadly, in February 1984 the Gibraltar 5761 was lost in a freak accident at the mine, when the shovel tipped over as it was being moved to a new pit location." The shovel was salvaged where it landed. Much speculation that the incident was no accident, as there was an existing hard road they usually used, but instead chose to go the swamp route that day. Apparently, the shovel was insured by Lloyd's of London.
