This giant bucket is all that remains of Big Muskie. Big Muskie was a coal-mining dragline excavator, longer than a football field, weighing 12,200 tons and standing nearly 22 stories tall. It operated in southeastern Ohio from 1969 to 1991. It was the largest machine ever to move on land. The 220 cubic yard bucket could hold two full size buses.
