Nate Nowak: Surprised it hasn't gone to Florida like so many others

Michael Davis: Nate Nowak there was talk. It’s been completely rebuilt inside and was only used for about a year in Alabama. This was originally from the Mountain View job in Kentucky and then in Florida. Now it’s stuck in Alabama.

I got the location of the mine from page 10 of this red tape.

Is this the Alabama location mentioned in this description?

Lucibello Heavy Equipment photography posted six photos with the description:

Marion 7820 going up in Pheonix to dig aggregate. This machine started life out in Kentucky at a coal mine before being moved to Alabama where it only stripped overburden for four months before being shut down. It looks like this machine will have a long life digging aggregate in the dry heat for the foreseeable future! Special thanks to Michael Davis for help on the history and photos of the machine during its past lives.

Michael Davis: Pleased to help and pleased to see it continue its life!
