Trucks, working in the Super Pit. Look at the truck in the upper right corner - parked next to it is a large 4x4 vehicle, which gives you some idea of scale. According to the blurb, these trucks cost $4million each, weigh 166 tonnes, and can carry 218 tonnes of ore. I couldn't find anything telling me what sort of mileage they get from their 2,300hp engine, but the fuel tank is 3,790 litres. That's $4 grand per fillup! Makes roadtrains look positively economical!
