In the early 1960s, increased production was needed to meet rising demand for coal by Muskingum River Power Plant. The increased mining capability was achieved with Big Muskie, a BucyrusErie 4250W dragline. Huge by any standards, the 4250W was the largest walking dragline ever built. It also was the biggest machine ever to move on land.

hello, I worked for Amax Coal Co as a Chief Electrician, with the BE 3270 at Delta Mine. It is/was truly an amazing machine! It was powered by a single 25KV, 3ph power cable, which powered two 25kv/6900v subs, one on each side of the machine. There were 6 motor/generator sets, each with a 3,000 hp sync motor at 6,900vac driving dc generators.
