thanks Steve , I'm trying to picture in my head where that pit is

I heard the name of the co. somewhere . if you get on 209 from port carbon Pottsville head to Tamoqua Its like your driving through a trench . sometimes you can see some small drags working on the banks . all you see is the boom maybe a glimer of red/orange in the trees I've did some home excavations in those hills . 18% grade roads is the norm

I'm wandering who really made the frames for those trucks . My dad worked for a co in 60's/70's (before I came in this messed up world

) that dug some of the fondation work at mack for the machines to make the rear axles on those trucks .I'm going to have to make a short trip to the mack histiric center someday , you up to it Scott ?
