doesn't require much power.. i could do it with a 4-banger diesel.. all you need is the initial torque and it'll move.. the trins have low friction.. but still impressive.. i like the 100,000lbs front end loader one ford did better!
That ain't shit. I load train cars and pull 500,000lbs with a 92 ford. We used small tractors before that. Train on metal tracks doesn't cause much resistance at all. The only thing here is its happening on dirt. Not much for traction.
my Favorite line is..... "There is NO WAY he's Pulling a Train ! ! ! " @ 32 sec mark
The 2012 Powerstroke is rated at GVWR 24,500lbs this train is 280,000 lbs... thats 255,600 Lbs OVER the GVWR of the truck... and she still pulled it even with the wheels spinning in the dirt....
Its sad that even with all the bail out money Chevy and Dodge couldn't design a truck that can do this (still stock).... This is why the KING of trucks still has a Blue Oval on the front....
@Heathermariesdaddy I'm a ford fan, but just sayin, if this train was on the road with rubber tires there would be a lot more friction. The train having metal tires on a metal track has very little friction, therefore, it can pull a lot more. If the fords towing capacity was a lot higher than 24,500, they would have rated it higher.
thats a ford for you id like to see a chevy try that

@bryan44177 to bad Ford is a F-450 and the rest are a wimpy v6 supercharged gas engine or a cheaply made truck with a weak engine.
