| 説明 | With 50 minutes of daylight in hand yesterday, it seemed like an ideal opportunity to tick off another great site (sight) from my UK bucket list - the last giant drag-line shovel in Europe. Built in Wisconsin during 1948, she was brought to the UK in 1954 under the Marshall Plan to work in open-cast coal mining, Odd Ball has been at this location since 1974. Bucyrus-Erie 1150's were the second largest drag line shovels in the World.She rests adjacent to St Aiden's RSPB reserve which itself was created from the worked out open cast mine where the shovel operated , just east of Leeds. The Erie Bucyrus BE1150 Drag Line, colloquially known as OddBall, has regular open days but is sadly not operational due to missing parts. The static shovel and piles of old sleepers, combined with the scrub surrounding it, are now home to Little Owls. |
