Leewood, WV: Cantenary Coal Co. (Arch Coal) Samples Mine and B-E 2570

(Satellite)

Terry Tolley posted four photos with the comment: "Photos of Catenary Coal Company (Arch Coal) Samples Mine, Leewood, WV, circa 2007, featuring the Bucyrus Erie 2570 dragline, the largest dragline to operate in West Virginia.  Thanks to Jerry Wright and Herb Bosley for the pictures."
Heath Smith: My first trip otr and the parts I had on went straight to the 2570. Used the crane out the back of the house to unload me.

I don't know how much of the scarred land in this area belongs to this mine. I found a front loader and some haul trucks, but I could not find a dragline. Although Google Maps has a Dec 2016 view of one.
