Big Muskie Coal Scoop Bucket
|
|
| The electric shovel that operated at this coal mine was the largest mobile land machine in the world. It used as much electricity as 27,500 homes to scoop out 325 tons of material in each bite (220 cubic yards). Built in 1969 it required a crew of seven to operate it. In 1999, the massive machine and its dragline were destroyed and salvaged, as the mine was shut down. Only the huge bucket was preserved for posterity, and tourists. |
