Coal Mining with Big David
« on: December 17, 2018, 01:28:58 PM »
950B was a Bucyrus Erie built in 1938-39. Big David went through several owners in his tenure in Macon County, MO.  Big David dug until 1980 when it was dwarfed out by bigger draglines and left for scrap.

The Kansas version if you ever get a chance. It is very cool. A bunch of You -Tube stuff on it too. I have seen it, well worth my effort too!

Is the need enough? Or does the want suffice?
