one sweet backhoe

While that is amazing, I don't think the backhoe did it all alone. If you look carefully at some of the pics, you see a cable? at the front, maybe doing some pulling.

I saw that cable too and wondered if that wasn't the help the backhoe had to move it forward.

Back in the 60's, I drove combines cutting wheat from Texas to Canada during the summer months and we would load those huge machines on the bed of two ton trucks with 4X4's bolted to the side of the bed to make it wider. Even at that, the tires would only be half on the truck and half hanging off. The combines had to be exactly in the middle of the bed before we tied them down for transport, but we didn't have the side guides that the backhoe does to keep it centered on the train car. Still, the operator has to know what he's doing in order to accomplish this feat.
 
I want to see how he gets it down, seems to me going up would be a whole lot easier than coming back down!!:eek:
 
That is an impressive video, if you follow the link.

I think I actually felt my testosterone level go up just a few points when I saw this thing in action. :cool:
