Hanna Coal Company's large electric shovel 'The Mountaineer'.
Hanna Coal Co. Shovels: 'looks like 'The Mountaineer' on the right and probably 'The Tiger' on 'The Green Hornet' on the left.'
'The nature of Hanna Coal's surface mining operations is illustrated here. Among the company's seven strip shovels for removing the overburden and uncovering the 52-inch vein of coal, are four giants weighing in the neighborhood of 1,800 tons each, equipped with booms up to 120 feet long, and with scoops having a capacity up to 50 cubic yards. Each of these large shovels can move enough stone and earth per year to cover a football field more than a mile high.'
