Tunnel boring machines. These advanced engineering devices were used to cut through under the English Channel, one from either end. One of the machines was driven in a curve out of the way and abandoned underground while the other was hauled out and put up for sale. The links are to the Wikipedia article on the machines, and pictures of the unit used at Yucca Mountain to excavate rooms for the long term storage of high level nuclear waste can be seen. A link is provided to the BBC article on the sale of one of the original machines about which the question asks.
