Denhoff,ND right in the center of the State | My father in law worked for Falkirk mine for 29years, I have been on that dragline when in operation, what a beast, I have some photos of my dad and I and my sons standing in the bucket of it, and also a few other photos of Machinery at the mine will try and find and post. The huge dragline is run by electricity, my father in law was a electrician at the mine and was in charge of moving the cable when the dragline moved ahead, they used a small tractor with a three point mounted implement to drag the cables, they are quite large.
