    Oh, I get it. He gets all the way up and uses the backhoe bucket to unload. Notice that the one in the video is a different machine than the one in the pictures and on a different train. It has a grapple. Apparently, this is a more common way of unloading trains than it seems. Maybe it's safe, but it sure looks dangerous. I do see stabilizer plates outside the front bucket. It has to be scary to load and unload though. I have a hard enough time loading excavators or dozers on a lowboy sometimes.
