I saw a t.v. program a few years ago that showed a really large stripping shovel that fell over on its side while they were walking it. I think it was owned by Peabody Coal. Does anyone recall this? Did they save the machine?

Yep! That's it!
This happened around 1985 at Peabodys Gibraltar Mine in Central City, Ky. It was a 5761-M shovel and it was a total loss & scrapped
