World's largest Shovel starts in Ohio coal region
A colossal shovel begins work in eastern Ohio to unearth about 1,000,000 tons of bituminous coal this year. It will remove 12,000,000 tons of overburden to reach ten 40 to 100 foot depths, with a 120 foot high scoop and a digging capacity enough to fill half a railway car per bite. The operation supports wartime energy needs as bulldozers and rotary brushes prepare the coal for loading into mammoth trucks and shipment.
