To cut the marble is used a diamond wire, the first cut is a huge marble wall that drops on a cushion of dirt and then it is divided into small blocks

Very cool... I've always liked the solid rock quarries. That section where they cut a tunnel into the side is a trip. In the old days, many quarries use to build train trestles down into the pits to haul the pieces out.

Excellent shots, a real variety in the equipment, makes, models, new and old. I really love the CAT 375L and the PC650-3 but that 992C really caught me eye. Can't wait till CCM release their model!

That's an amazing place... It makes you wonder why they made certain cuts the way they did and stuff.
