using a locomotive to extract

[SuperBuickGuy]

now that's a best stuck

[DanStokes]

Now THAT'S stuck! I'll remember that the next time I have my excavator stuck. Just bring out my locomotive and pop 'er right out!

I was impressed with the crawler stuck in the creek getting himself out with the blade!
(At the end when several vids pop up)

Oh yes , this is always how I get my backhoe. Except that one time we were in the boonies and had tonuse my sky crane copter.

There has been an cargo train accident overhere a while back where a Leopard army tank was brought in to pull the 2 diesel locomotives apart from the wreckage, which were stuck under an overpass.
Also something you don't see often.

[BigBlockMopar]

Speaking of tanks... and a tractor;

[DanStokes]

Well, really 2 tanks more or less. Thanks for the posting!

can you see all the ways this guy employs to get himself out?

[BigBlockMopar]

I see almost unbearable shaky camera-action and lot of moves, but most of them don't seem that logical to this laymen.
Not that impressed with his skills.

But then again, closest to a rescue-mission I've come was dragging my '64 Chrysler out of a developing sinkhole with my '67 Chrysler

I once used a semi to pull our forklift out of the sand, when a 4wd 3/4 ton Suburban merely spun its tires attempting to do the same thing.

Forklifts, even the ones with pneumatic tires, shouldn't be used off hard surfaces - unless it's the kind of forklift designed for that type of use. Very heavy + small tires = Sink down to the frame.

The strengh of the chain impressed me the most........

The smallest forklift I have driven outweighed a Suburban by a bunch. Kind of like a Chihuahua trying to pull a stuck Clydesdale out of the mud.

[DanStokes]

Given that he didn't have a locomotive I think he did OK. Hey, it's out of the mud pit, right?

the part that really impressed me was when he scooped rocks, dropped them on the track, then lifted that track, and then spun the track to put the rocks underneath the track... it seems simple, but that's some ingenuity
