Peabody's Bucyrus Erie 2570W at the Bear Run Mine 1/28/23 

Bucyrus Erie 2570W Dragline, 220' tall and 13 million lbs, swinging a 136 yard bucket. Built in 1977 near Staunton Indiana at the Amax, Chinook mine. It mined coal on the north side of I-70 until 94' when it crossed the interstate and then worked on the southern part of the mine property. Several years after the mine closed, it was walked to Black Beauty's Farmersburg mine where It worked for some time. When Farmersburg closed, there was extensive maintenance done to the machine, some planned, some not, before being walked farther south to the Bear Run mine where, along with the 2550, it continues to work today.
