The chain is more to have something to grab onto in case you get into a fall. It's not "cool" but rather dumb to ignore the chain like that. If it's quiet there it's fine to walk up without holding onto the chain. Just be in reach of the chain in case you fall. Many people died there by getting into a fall. There are some really steep bits next to that path, if you fall down there it's way worse than falling from a house roof. But anyway, the chain and the entire climbing path are history.

@@Engineer9736 Have you climbed it?

Was it in Henderson?

@@nicholasnelson6876 I'm not sure where Henderson is but this was in East Texas. It's been a really long time. The plant was brand new, I remember that.

@@ringandpinion3064 the reason I ask is because I live an hour away from Henderson. Henderson is in East Texas. The dragline I'm cutting up has an electric powerplant behind it and another mine directly south of the plant. The mine I'm on is for coal and I assume the other one is too. Luminant mining CO owns the land I'm on. The other mine is called liberty.

@@nicholasnelson6876 I was there in 1987, give or take. I started up the Atlas Copco compressors in the power plant itself but like any good mechanic I slobbered all over myself looking at that big dragline. I don't remember if it was a dragline or shovel but I would assume it is the same plant. I don't remember a power plant specific for the dragline but I do remember some big (huge) electrical cables coming from it. I was born a mechanic and have always been fascinated with big and/or high tech machinery. I was a tank and amtrac mechanic in the Marines and worked on hydraulic oil rigs, compressors, generators, etc etc for the rest of my life. I was really good at control systems and was there as the digital controls took over for the analog stuff, so I made good money knowing that. I'm old and retired now, not turning wrenches anymore.

It probably dug the minerals you purchased in the form of an electronic device so you could comment about how dumb it is. Or maybe it dug the coal to supply the power you consumed to make the comment.

actually this is the most efficient way to move dirt other than blasting, and the coal from these mines are mostly used for steel making. Knowledge is far more powerful than emotions

I think there are 7 draglines there now

Gotta cut the steering wheel sensor cable under the dash, I installed a switch so I can turn it on and off when I don’t want lights on the dash

@@jdrg any links or videos on how to?

@@jimmywow3672 Ill make one for ya

@@jdrg for real?

@@jimmywow3672 yea give me like two weeks to put it together and I’ll post it on the channel

The Muskie operated in the area and surrounding area of what is now called The Wilds. Close to Cambridge

Naaa brusss it’s the AMB mine

Wanted to limit the exposure of the company logo running the mine, which is also printed on the back of everyones jeans

Staff not allowed to make video these days.

Together with her sister "the Silver Spade".....I love them ❤️

Naw..your thinking of the the one named the captain. 2nd biggest. It was cut up from the fire breaking out in 1992 in the engine room. Big Muskie was actually shut down from the clean air act being passed. was junked in 1999

He also said one of the biggest not the biggest

And I’m sure they scraped it on a regular basis; likely before they repainted it. Or if they got too much frost on the windshield. But of course in the end, they scrapped it, and didn’t have to scrape it anymore.

Here is a photo of me standing in one of the buckets imgur.com/KfZaQDe

Truth bomb. 💣

The Bucket matches the allowed load. If you calculate the moment arm of the loaded bucket from the centre of rotation and then the mo e t arm of the machine with the counterweight behind the centre of rotation. And compare the numbers you will see what I mean. Drag lines are designed for operations in a specific mine taking ingo consideration the soil type and weight and how much needs to be move per month. As example boom angles are strictly looked at and are designed down go the half of a degree. Most are set between about 33 and 39 degrees, however I know one that is 27 degrees and remember erection g o e at 40 degrees.

Oooo ic...and Merry Christmas Mr Donns..

Nobody cares

I know, right? I really, REALLY wanted to know what brand of jeans those guys were wearing.

its the mining company logo. @@localcrew

Good spot other than the sand flys

@@jdrg get some nice jack there I haven’t been up for a few months I live in Brissy now. Once it warms up I’ll head up, don’t miss the midgies mozzies though.

Hey Kalel

Pre sure it’s in the second half
