In West Mineral, KS, there lies a big machine, "Big Brutus." Currently a museum and local attraction, it is 160 feet tall (16 stories), weighs 11 million pounds, and at one time was the largest steam shovel in the world. A few pictures, then on to Fort Scott, KS to say "Howdy" to another firend before finally returning to Kansas City.
