See 2 of the largest draglines in Canada powered entirely by electricity, that are used to remove the over burden and expose the coal seams. The coal is dug up by loader, then loaded on 150 Ton capacity coal haulers. It is delivered to the crusher, from there to the load haul out. From there it is transported by train on PoplarRiver’s privately owned train.
