Like they all say, that machine is geared up for that job, but.......... I wouldn't like to be the first person to try it out!

At first sight you think how on earth does he do that, then you see he's got some special adapters fitted to the front bucket and the underbelly of the machine, but even so, must be a hair raising experience the first time !

Interesting video.
I guess they have to have specially reinforced railcars, imagine the stresses on the sides from having that machine sat on top !
