Hello Muskies. A mobile industrial plant. Ingenious. Surprisingly good visibility from the driver's cabin. Thanks for this rare views of the inside. Greetings from Germany.
Hi, I too am a ‘Muscovite’! I have seen many other videos of this machine and just the shear number of vehicles taken to carry every and the area necessary for the build is unbelievably large. It is a shame it had to stop and was scrapped maybe even making other smaller similar type cranes eh? Thanks for the upload. Take care mrbluenun
+Mike Buzzard It was located outside Cumberland, Ohio and operated by Central Ohio Coal for AEP. It was still powered and sat idle until 1999, when it fell to the scrapper's torch. I used to stop by and see it every year, until 1998. It stood atop a hill proudly, lights glowing brightly, like a mechanized monolith visible from miles away.
Thanks for that treat Walter. I never thought I would get a look inside Big Muskie.
What a massive machine it was.

@@FTORC1it had electric to it for lights from 1991-1998? I did not know that.
No audio and the camera person must have had a drink or twelve!
This was before image stabilization, remember.
@beerdeddi1 What does it look like
It looks like it’s in its final resting place. What a shame.
