My friend and I went exploring recently and came across this old abandoned Marion dragline that I guess was used for gravel extraction at this old gravel pit that's now some kind of half a$$ed wildlife reserve. I'm not sure what the story is on the old dragline but it's certainly been sitting there for a very long time and has sustained all sorts of vandalism damage over the years.

Sounds like the word of a man who's spent time pulling wrenches or operating them. Yeah it would be interesting to see what that cab has over the years. I've never operated one myself I think the only ones still operating productively for the most part on this side of the pond are the big electric walking draglines in the coal mines of which I have seen operating in person.Originally posted by Muz View PostIve no love for drag lines , but it sure is a waste to see something like that ruined and rusting It would have a few stories to tell if it couldComment
