THIS VIDEO IS PART 1 OF A SHOVEL ON ITS WAY TO THE SCRAP YARD ( SO SAD ). THIS 190B BUCYRUS ERIE SHOVEL IS SHOWN LEAVING THE PIT FOR THE LAST TIME. IT WAS REPLACED WITH A MODERN HYDRAULIC SHOVEL. PART 2 OF THIS VIDEO WILL BE SHOWN SOON.
It looks like the Cat was acting as the "emergency brake" while it was going uphill. I saw a 190B loose it's drive shaft going downhill. It must have been going 30 MPH before it rolled on its side. Luckily no one was hurt. It was tipped back up and put back into service after repairs.
Pity to see such a great piece of kit coming to the end of its life. What was the dozer doing behind it, for the second half of the walk, was he assisting it up the slope?
@generationll It was there in case the machine started rolling

On second thought from the front it looks more like the 700hp D10
