I used to run backhoe and made 100 bucks when I bet my coworker that instead of driving half a mile to a gate to get on the other side of a fence that my trench had to cross I could jump over it with the backhoe. Pretty much the same procedure as this except up and over a fence and drop on the other side.not quite as high as a railcar but high enough to be nervous lol

What would be the purpose of doing this? I imagine they couldn't transport like that for obvious reasons. So is it to unload material (I assume coal/rocks/debris?) Or what?
way too much stress sitting on back of bucket (main reason his bushings are worn out and bucket flops around). If you put any serious weight on a backhoe or excavator, you'd best either have bucket flat on ground (or preferably, bucket out and teeth in ground)
Not to be the downer but have seen it done way smoother with less wear on the vehicle... In other videos as such. Might be my own opinion but the operator wasnt really an expert right?
Got to be hard on the links that connect the dipper and the bucket. Notice how the bottom of the bucket isn't even touching the ground I see that special device pulling backhoe loader on car. Looks like you used a forklift or something to lift the front end because the front bucket wouldn't quite reach that device you probably have on a winch. I thought there was some gimmicks to this trick. I'm not impressed!
Oh sure a 30,000# backhoe ,,if you dont have facts just superglue your fingertips together and keep your ideas to yourself,idiots who post inacurate info should be blocked from youtube.
A clever improvise but this is probably one of the many cases that just because you can, does not mean you should. I cannot imagine that they do this every time to unload rock.
The NS used a Cat 319D, and that's a 43,000 lb excavator on steel tracks. The Herzog Cartopper has special L-brackets on the bucket, mid mount frame, and stabilizers to keep it centered and allow it to slide along the top rail of the railcar. It has a hydraulicly driven winch and generator in the bucket. The Cartopper is used to load AND unload anything using various size buckets, a Herzog twist-o-wrist grapple and even an electro-magnet. Watch---These Backhoes are Awesome!----
When I interviewed for a position back in '93, you as an operator were an independant contractor trained by Herzog to run and maintain the machine. You were on call 24/7/365. You had to supply your own vehicle and tools, were paid by the hr and a per diem. When you got the call, the machine was in transite or already on site, and you had 24 hrs to get to the machine. These were usually leased to the RR with the operator. Dam good money if you knew your job. Gypsy occupation for single guys only.
Herzog Contracting is no second rate outfit. They are one of the largest and have been in the railroad business for 40 years. This Cartopper is a Patented machine. Herzog holds over a dozen patents on equipment that they have designed for railroad use. The Cat 428D weighs around 17K. They dont hire any knothead off the street to run a Cartopper. You have to have experience with a machine before you can train to operate the Cartopper. Which was two months training the last I knew.
That railcar has a 263,000 gross capacity with 63,000 being the weight of the railcar and 200,000 lbs of rock. The dead load of the backhoe is at least 30,000 lbs plus live load reaction. I am surprised the Federal Railroad Administration would allow this since the railcar would be overloaded. How'd they get around that?
Pretty cool but camera shaking way too much
Now go ahead and bring it down
I have never seen this before,pretty cool.
Wow. Really cool . And brave
I felt sorry for the tracks
Well, that's one way to load a backhoe onto a work train. You'd have to be out of your mind to load it up like that!
I bet it's OSHA approved

Awesome display of engineering and skill 💪
Very cool, just wish the camera was less shaky.
I think I would need a change of underwear to be able to do that
I want to know how that guys balls fit in that cab with him?

super
hi
for those saying "build a ramp" steel tracks tend to slip a lot on a steel ramp. you can climb anything with a backhoe if you have time
Seen done like this but without the cable pulling it.
I used to help in designing those buckets back in the mid-80s, but never knew they ever be used like that :-)

+Chino Antrax Yes, they would unload the material from the railcar (rocks, coal, even sugar beets!) My dad did this for years.

Check out the cable that is pulling that thing with the front bucket on it.

I love how it looked like a break dancing pose at the end. Awesome skills!
i could do that without the anti tip over stuff
watch the video backwards
So that's how they do it
boxcarnoah your a moron

Now thats talent

it's not too overloaded, and not overloaded for long. and the backhoe is not 10 1/2 tons.... more like 5 tons
The operator is trained and employed directly by Herzog Rail Systems to operate the machines; they do not work for the railroads.
people who know nothing about machines and see stunts like this mistake brave stupidity for skill

Not so good operator, brave but no talent
Like you
haha you use the dozer and knock over the car with the backhoe to get it down...Lol
If your hydrolics break...you're going to have a bad time!
Because that's no fun
same way you get it on?
fucking idiots
why not just get a cran to put the bacho on the tran or use a ramp?
i guess pretty much the same way :)
Shameless plug for my page; I have the unloading video. ;.) "Unloading a Herzog Cartopper". Cool to see this done, either loading or unloading.
same way you got it up.
just imagine the pressure on that shovel. God
When you put it up there with out the wench then you've done something.
