OK, I think I see a bar welded across the frame just behind the front wheels too.

What gets me is what happened between the last 2 photos. In the next to last, his front wheels are just on the edge of the car. In the last one, his rear wheels are touching, but not quite "up" on the car. The car hasn't moved (see background), and his backhoe is at basically the same angle. The bucket is closer to the car though. Did he sort of toss the back of the tractor in the air with the backhoe, and qiuckly move it forward?!?!?!?!?!

Yikes, looking at it again, I'm wondering if he has hooks on the side of the front loader bucket to grab the lip at the top of the car. Then he can bend the "elbow" on the backhoe, move the bucket closer to the car, and push again. That's almost as scary as tossing it in the air!!!!!!

I would pay to see a video of that!

I'd like to know how he got the TLB down after he unloaded the gondola.

All I know is those operators gotta have big kahunas to climb on top of those rail cars. /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif
