🗣️ Siri, play ‘these boots are made for walking’ 🎵 This is the dragline at our Collinsville coal mine. Did you know it can walk? The long strips on the side of the machine are known as their feet or shoes and can move just a few metres per minute ⏲️ 👀 The employee walking on the ground is spotting the dragline operator as they reposition the machine to mine the next area. They are in constant communication with the dragline operator via a two-way radio. | Glencore

One of many North American Coal dragline buckets with my Ariat Work boots for scale. In fairness, I have small feet. This bucket can shift about 115 CY (88 CM) and 215 tons per pass. #betterdirtworld | Aaron Witt
