I worked at Pine Point Mines. I was an electrician there. Every sunday I would go through this make of shovel. Then put it through its paces, before signing off on it.
There's a few of these machines (maybe not 190B's) but certainly RBs, Priestmans and NCKs on display and sometimes operating for demonstrations at Threlkeld mining museum in the UK. Great to see the old kit working
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.
I worked on the construction of a large gold mine that had Cat hydraulic and cable shovels all brand new. Cat now owns B-E. The two electric shovels the mine had were 7495's with 50 m2 buckets.
This was interesting, and a little boring at times. I was curious as to whether it was clutch steered, or hydraulic. I am glad it showed the locked track, when it made the right turn. I have loved earth moving equipment since I was old enough to say, bulldozer.
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?
Not true they were sold for scrap or parted out shovels that were built in the mid to late 1950s sold new for a million dollars an the shovel in this video is newer than that it has at least a 12 yard bucket or a 15 yard bucket ! Where was this filmed I noticed the lack of hard hat on the men that were helping move the shovel! No OSHA or MSHA safety Regulations?

The cat has to keep the path clean for the shovel.
This machine weighs in at 375 tons. It was hard on track frames
Any of you guys remember the children's book " Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel"?
Jamie Lacourse miss Maryanne was such a sweet heart!! Perhaps you also might remember “Katie and the big snow” (same author)
A fitting end for a great steamer........

j'ai conduit ce même modèle dans les années 60 dans une mine en Mauritanie à Tazadit. Des machines formidables pour l'époque
Ah vraiment ! Alors vous devez avoir vécu de beaux moments avec une pareille machine ! Les machines récentes n’ont pas le même charme

Wish they would donate or something, these old irons for generations to enjoy on display,etc..rather than scrapping them...
Great video, thanks for sharing. What model of hydraulic was this old girl replaced with?
What year was that machine. I worked in mines that had that size shovels and they seemed to rebuild them for decades.
Crawlers of this machine drived by individual motors for each one?
Always a sad sight
they are electric the extension cord to power it is in front of the carriage assy .
This is a baby one campared to a P&H 4100XPC
What is the D11 doing?
What is the tether for?
@generationll It was there in case the machine started rolling
poor shovel!
No it's in western ky
sad save these as a museum...
hi, what year was made this video?
On second thought from the front it looks more like the 700hp D10
Definitely a D10. I ran one for 3yrs! Love the sound of the D348 and man did it roar and smoke! Loved it
I bet that steel is buried deep in Three Gorges dam.
It's all electric
How about the book for kids my mother the crane
:25 shake hands with danger
more like @ 4:10 the 2 guys picking up the shovel's electrical umbilical cord
that thing should be going to a museum not cut up for scrap so sad.
Hey Irish man.
Is this in Ohio?
such a shame. How can america build a history full of artifacts like Europe has if we keep scarping it ?
I'm sure you could buy it and preserve it. But a mine is there mine, not be a hoarders lot for artifacts.
Back in the old days once they were done with these machines they would bury them in the dirt
Not true they were sold for scrap or parted out shovels that were built in the mid to late 1950s sold new for a million dollars an the shovel in this video is newer than that it has at least a 12 yard bucket or a 15 yard bucket !

@@davidlotti5407 get out of here safety nazi.
Also burying junk equipment is common when it's not worth the effort to scrap.
