Wow a part2? Even better than the first. Incredible footage again. Thank you

One of the best dragline videos anywhere.

[@bammersmith5993]

I love to hear them swing motors.

[@wmden1]

That was about the best perspective I have seen of one of these draglines operating, from the operator's cab. The operator must have had a sore left foot, or leg. He had the top of that coal seam almost spotless down to where he was working.

God that's amazing footage!! I really can appreciate that a great deal. Thank you so very much for posting this. Its historic value is huge for Southern Indiana!!

[@detroitdiesel-vu3ig]

These videos are priceless. Unfortunately, there will be a day when the last 2570w ceases to operate and videos like these will keep them in memory

[@ats-3693]

I was just thinking how much great old footage like this must still be on VHS tapes laying around in boxes of old junk in peoples garages and basements, there must be a huge amount of absolute gold video footage out there that isn't recorded anywhere else at all and will probably never get rescued and transferred to a new medium before the old magnetic tapes degrade too much to be recovered again.

That's cool, Frenchy3055! Do you still operate? That Bear Run Mine they've opened down there is quite an impressive outfit.

[@leeturner1838]

how big bucket?

[@highland512]

If this is the 8900 (which I think it is) it was 120 cy if I remember correctly

[@bethanyhaskiell9116]

The 8900 is 150 cubic yards and the 2570 is between 100 to 110 cubic yards

[@Frenchy3055]

​@@highland512 The 8900 originally had a 145 cubic yard bucket. But a few years before Peabody parked it for good, the purchased a 155 cubic yard bucket that came off of the 8950 AMAX in Southern Indiana
