      Haha good catch. It's a force of habit, we take great pride in causing as little further damage as possible. On huge wrecks, it's inevitable sometimes. But we aren't like the other channels who see a recovery and have no respect for the casualty.

    Here I am a 75 yr old woman getting a load of cabinet shop waste wood in my humble old manual Ranger yesterday and a big, long trailer load of lumber comes in for a delivery. What fun to move aside for the big forklift and then time to walk around and look at points on the trailer you've pointed out for this or that use.

    I'm a retired train engineer and I can assure you this is not that unusual of an occurrence. I hit a fork lift once at fairly low speed and it flipped the machine around 180 degrees with the operator in it. He was actually mad that I hit him, like he had a right to cross the tracks without looking for a train. Turns out the crossing was not legal and the railroad showed up with an excavator the next day and ripped it out.
    Another great video. Nice work !

    Excellent video! Combining the two things I love. Recovery and railfaning! Speaking of railfaning I regularly watch videos on what's called "Street Running Trains". There are towns and cities where locomotives run down the streets of the town, Lagrange, Ky is one example..... I can just imagine living where a locomotive comes through your town on a daily basis. Of course there have been bone headed accidents...... 🤦

The mayor of LA is telling everybody the reason they can't move the RV encampments is because the city doesn't have any heavy tow haulers! Is Pepe's getting the contract for that work? You guys would have a full card for a year just getting rid of ALL the broken-down RVs littering the streets of LA! Pepe's seems like the only shop that could get that work done fast and efficiently! Hope to maybe see some of that content in the future!
