I've got about 50 pictures of this shovel and dragline. My Dad ran the Shovel and my Uncles ran the dragline. The dragline was a 20 cubic yard bucket and the shovel was about 74 cubic yards. I spent hours on both machines.

All these coal mines that still can produce, will be up and running within a short period of time. The great environmental push, has come to a pause, with the new Great War that is unfolding!

Wow that’s amazing. I use to ride atv’s and dirt bikes out there all the time in the early 2000’s. It was dirty but a fun place to ride at. Lots of party’s and mud bogging out there too. It’s a shame they did reclamation on it several years ago. It’s no longer a strip mined piece of land.

My uncle John Crider ran one in Mullenburg Co. KY. till he retired. If you were on the WKY parkway West bound crossing the Green River. His was the second one from the Parkway if your looking left. Sadly it's all gone I heard the TVA shuttered the Paradise power plant. Yep the Paradise from the John Prine song.

The shovels in the pit are a 1650b and a 1050b. As far as the draglines that are rehandling the spoil are concerned I’m not sure of the model numbers but the one named Doc is a Page. Green coal had three 1650b shovels I believe and all were purchased used. One was the first 1650b built and named Marshal Dillon. Green Coal liked to name their machines after characters in the TV series Gunsmoke.

Based on the walking mechanism, boom, single hoist and drag rope, extended fairlead for sure the dragline is a BE 480 W
