Thats one strong front-end loader and thats common practice but I've never seen anything like that round here before.

Those two boxcars had to be empty for that lil forklift, cuz I dont think it could have been able to pull them if they where loaded.

@singwith I just checked with my friend who is retired from S.P. and actually they are doing nothing wrong, nothing wrong at all - the company owns the track. I work in an office with no windows I dont get out to see this kind of stuff.

people who paint graffiti are idiots who are wasting their talent on crime. thumbs up if you agree

I wonder how hard it would be to turn a CAT loader into a hi-rail loader.
