For those of you familiar with large machinery, and to give a sense of
scale, those are Caterpillar 793C trucks.
Magnificant view, Dave.
Those trucks are so large they have to be assembled on-site,
components shipped in by railcar. The tires are taller than an average
sized dump truck, and cost (if I remember correctly, about $25,000
each, lasting about 4-6 months. Driver sits about 30 feet off the
ground. Radiator bigger than your car, and weighs more.
