Don Campbell driving Cat 994D Monster Loader
Posted by doncampbellmodels on 26 Apr 2007 | Tagged as: From the Workshop
Here is a picture Deb took of me in the drivers seat of this awesome Cat 994D Loader . Feeling the power and the size of this monster as I drove it into a pile of rocks and scoop up a bucket full was just GREAT !!. Feeling the machine rock back and forth slightly as I drove it seemed like I was in control of a monster alright. Very Cool!
This was our first visit to a coal mine and I was in Heaven on Earth seeing these monster machines in person for the very first time.
I have to pull out a couple new pics once in a while to share with new visitors and old to my webpage of this great day in the Va. coal mines with James. Thanks again James for a Great day !!

This picture shows me standing in the other pole barn on the farm checking out the new piece of tillage equipment.
They are not so sure the JD 4955 will pull it ok or not. If not, they might have to get another bigger tractor , oh yea !!

Don gets a E-mail today from John saying the funerals are today for the miners.
I received a nice E-mail today from John in Barton, Maryland. He said to say thanks to all who kept them in their daily prayers.
John said he arrived at the scene of the highwall collapse just minutes after it happened. He also said these miners were like family to him. John said he could not leave the sight until they were found .
Now knowing they did not suffer helps to ease his mind.
He said he got frustrated several times with the safety people that hampered his efforts to get back in the shovel and get back to digging.
He said today they will all lay his friends to rest . As I said last week, these people are very close to each other, but more than that , they are very close to God.
If they can not get through this with each others help, they know God will give them the needed strength .
Thanks again John for the nice E-mail
