I would assume either a 4100/4600 but there are definitely two of them there. Just went by there today again on the rails so I can't snap any pics. Maybe if anyone lives down in the area of Corning NY they could help? Also I got a quick pic of a Link Belt 700 excavator, will post it up tomorrow. No problem Martin! The machine is just massive!!

Fantastic pics,the 5110 is one of my favourite excavators,the 110/130tonne range is my favourite also,big enough to still be in proportion to resemble the stereotypical excavator,
I dont know a whole lot about the 5110,build/development or sales,I did hear they weren't too successful,don't know if this is true or not,seeing her with the black hydraulic cylinders would lead me to believe they built these for longer than I thought
any more 5510 pics would be more than welcome

The complex of Newgrange was originally built between c. 3100 and 2900 BC,[2] meaning that it's aproximately 5,000 years old. According to Carbon-14 dates,[3] it is more than 500 years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, and predates Stonehenge by about 1,000 years.

The 5110 was a complete overhaul of the machine before this job was taken on by the contractor, that could explain the black cylinders on it. There's an entire thread about this project, Future I99 over on HEF. It's an older topic so you'd definitely have to google it, it's quite the project and this wasn't the only 5110 used, there were quite a few in the different phases.
