We'll be waiting...I'd love to see some more footage of the TC 12 as they're pretty rare.
Don good shot of guy turning one at start, film was bad and think they got tired splicing and threw some away.
By the way, we have uranium mines in South Texas that the state of Texas is reclaiming after 50-60 years. Lots of big yardage being let a little at a time. They may be through with it by now. Personnel had to wear safety uniforms because of radiation.
That's the change in the way we do things today, we used some of the wet low grade sand to coat the haul road for temp dust control then breathed it, it would take 2 or 3 hours to quit coughing up dust and black diesel soot,and no one smart enough to even think it might be bad.
Think all these were reclaimed in the 70's, friend of mine made out real good with just dozers.
Well Don you thought those 18's were fuel hungry, look what happens when you put a bigger scraper behind a 110.
I have nothing but the deepest respect for these old grils, I remember 1 6-71 seized from out of oil, 1 broken rad hose and it seized, filled them up and months later they were still running. They did pull a sleeve once in a while and crack a head, think from over speeding going down the ramp, as the 6-71 toped out about 150 to 200 RPM before the 6-110, and they over rapped it to.
This is night shift starting the new week on Sunday eve, 5 TC 12's, 1 D9, 15 TS 24's, 1 ole 6 wheeler, LW 777 blade, and I guess the S18's were temp borrowed from Western Nuc, averaging million yards a month, This pit ended up at 428' deep.

Guys if this works, it was in late 50's, early 60's, south central Wyoming, (Gas Hills), 50 + miles from no where. But it sure made for good paying winter work when road jobs froze up. 2 10 hour shifts 6 days a week,and some 10 X 7.
Your's truly is loaded @ 101, returning @ 229 & 321.
