Dave, I was kidding about pole cars, the GM&O and IC used them too for sure. But at the concrete mixing plant we used a 3010 John Deere with a loader to move cars. I was almost killed there by an old cable opening ore hopper. The guy opening it didn't know what he was doing and a 4 foot long piece of pipe went whizzing by my head. I was in the shop 30 feet away and after it missed my head by 2 inches it went through a tin wall and ended up 50 foot or so in the parking lot imbedded in the radiator and grill of a ford PU. The guy opening it had a compound fracture of his arm. FRED
