a few years ago in the uk 2 of these were cut up and buried when the opencast was closed as scrap at the time was worthless, did a few repairs on them when they were working, awesome machines!

The 3270 in Harrisburg,Ill is being scrapped as this being written

[smokeeater357]

bw & cojailer, NO, this is the one that worked in Chandler, IN at AMAX's Ayshire Mine. It was scrapped I think in2005 and yes Riverbilly, a man did die from what I understand a large cable was cut, ran through one of the shieves and decapitated him. A friend that ran a BE dragline at Peabody's Squaw Creek mine next to Ayrshire said here in the So. IN area they are "slope" mining now and it is very hard on these large machines. That's why you don't see them around much anymore.

Didn't a man die in the scrapping of this 3270?

A scrapper can make several million on one of these. Unfortunately, many of these great machines have already met the scrappers torch. Its sad, really. =/

Is this the same dragline in Harco Illinois out side of Harisburg. If it is, I belive it is still sitting on the road. It makes me want to go take some pics of it this weekend and post them on here.
