After living a few miles of this... tourist attraction for almost five years, and then moving away, Mom and I took a trip back to Pittsburg and stopped to see it on the way home. Unfortunately... the museum was closed and this was as close as we could get to the monstrous contraption.

Holy hell, it's like an apartment complex on wheels! What the crap does it do?

It used to be a strip mining machine. Now it's a tourist attraction! When it was built, it was the second largest strip mining machine ever. I ask you, who sets out to build the SECOND LARGEST ANYTHING???
