The first three photos are from a site that has devoted several pages to abandoned places, buildings, lighthouses, machinery etc. in Russia, often as a result of the Soviet downfall.
This giant excavation device was used for the exploitation of a phosphorus-field somewhere near Moscow and abandoned after the collapse of the USSR.
(Check out the car balanced on the gantry)
Not on the same scale, but I photographed a similar dragline near Maldon.
This one was used in the gold mining area around Porcupine, and was abandoned next to a dredge.
