There is a really good  one of a guy hauling a back-hoe up a coal or hopper car to unload it.

Now if he can get out, climb down and go to lunch, then I'll be impressed.

I've seen that before. But that guy has got some balls.

I imagine the shock/impact of that thing falling would kill the operator

yeah... all I would be thinking about the entire time is 60 tons of machine falling on top of me.

How does it not fall off when just the front half (or third) of the tractor is on the little ramps?  Those are so tail heavy, it seems like it would fall off backwards when the operator moves the boom from one level to the next.

The tracks are hooked under the upper protrusions.

I saw one where a Bobcat skid-steer loaded itself on a trailer with no ramps.

The crazy shit is all those people standing around. If that thing falls, you are DEAD!

RJ Corman does this in their yard in Lexington, KY.  They back a line of gondolas onto a siding with a ramp on the end.  Guy in a bucket loader (or whatever) drives across the gondolas of sand to the opposite end and starts digging out the cars.  Leaves enough on one end to make a ramp to the next car.  Moves over to it and scoops out the ramp.  I'm surprised OSHA has shut him down for that.

He's always been a weird one.  The engine house in Lexington is actually shipping containers stack on top of each other with a roof spaning across the tracks.  He wanted to build a real building but the city denied his permit.  So he built that and told them, it's not a building, just some containers!
