Category:King of the Lode
Wiseda's first 240-ton haul truck mined phosphate and coal before ending its service hauling taconite in Minnesota. "King of the Lode" is the world's first two-axle 240-short-ton, diesel electric haul truck. Originally manufactured by Wiseda Ltd. in 1982, the truck was retired in 1999 and was sitting atop a hill overlooking a taconite mine in Minnesota until United Taconite expanded their mining operations in 2017. King of The Lode was relocated to an unknown location shortly after the closure of Mineview In The Sky in 2015.
KL-2450 Given the serial number 0001, this KL-2450 hauled 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It worked in mines in Idaho and Wyoming before finishing its run in Minnesota.Source: King of the Lode, Construction Equipment, October 01, 2003
