    We have a closed down coal mine about 45 minutes away from where I live. It is now a very popular mountain bike destination using the tops of the spoils as the trail system.

    Hey Loza!! Great video of a great machine mate. One of the best I have ever operated. I loved that highway side final strip there. Rok on mate
  • Would it make more sense to continue in a circle emptying the bucket without stopping. Or would the operator get dissey

    Don't forget about the poor dragline Oiler. He's all greasy he's got crater on him. And he doesn't get paid enough money for his job. And he probably can't hear nothing cuz it's very loud in that machine. Earplugs is not enough to cut the noise down

    I have always wondered why the mines dump the overburden so damn high and I ever wonder if the land gets restored after the coal has been removed.
