The CAT gets a good bite of moist ground and fills the blade on this run. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkZsh3fqkRc
looks like coal tailings to me
You are correct garrie, its an open pit coal mine. Digger, did they ever get the vandalized 11 fixed up?
Yup coal tailing although some were a bit moist.
I think I saw the two D11s on the go. The mine is getting so large it takes a good zoom lens to see if it's the 11 or the D8 at a distance from the now double fenced with barbed wire boundary. I only found out about the damage after talking with someone I know who works there. Apparently some shots were fired through machine windows after they found they couldn't break them with rocks, wires cut inside the cab and a fire extinguisher chemical sprayed all over. Not too much was said local except that damage was done. A few locals don't like the dust and noise but they're not the types that would break out the firearms.
