The change-over operation continues as night comes:  Meanwhile, the old bucket is being loaded:  After all verifications and final checks are successfully completed, the shovel picks up its electrical supply cable and crawls back to its working site:   Regards. Guy

This is just ridiculously insane! I love seeing these photos but the time and effort it has taken to produce this is just amazing on every level.

Guy, in the first post you say that LorraMine doesn’t exist. I beg to differ. The mine does exist, and you prove it with these fantastic pictures. The people that worked on this project love their work and it shows. There must be a gold medal award somewhere for them to receive. It would be a dream to make the trip to see it in person. Mike
