Heavy Equipment Feats – Aransas Pass, TX

A while back Ruthi received an email (and forwarded it on) with an attached video that demonstrated how a piece of heavy equipment can exit a dump truck without a ramp. Well, last night (just past sunset) as she was walking Karma, Ruthi saw the same feat accomplished by a larger piece of similar equipment (backhoe loader) getting down off a RAILROAD CAR - not a flat bed but a full-sized RR car. The top edge of the RR car was at least 12 feet above the tracks. It took the equipment operator less than 10 minutes to safely get the backhoe loader down off the RR car and parked. AMAZING to watch!
