Another book I loved checking out from the library. This book is so beautiful with all kinds of pictures and information on Marion, P&H, Bucyrus-Erie and the heavy hitters in the earthmoving equipment game that move all the overburden and stuff. I enjoyed seeing pictures of the bucket-wheel excavators in Europe. I also enjoying seeing all the pictures of the walking draglines, steam shovels, and the like to show me how far things have come, especially from the older Marion machines that looked like they used windows from houses for their cabs.
