Shoot... Maffu's a MANLY man, and he had a Cheerios breakfast, too! It was really amazing. He just walked to the back of it, gave it a good karate kick, and that straightened it up. Then he backed off and whipped out this can of spinach. This crazy music started playin, and he punched the front end so hard, it straightened right up and it's afraid to ever derail again! :o I swear, that's how it happened. He's also too humble to brag about it. Hey: All that and a bag of chips!! :o ;;D

I wouldn't go that far, it has a turntable under it that lifts the machine up, chain it to the rail and pull it over with the comealong. Well lunch is up, everyone have a good day.

Be sure to wipe the windsheild off were you did your face plant.

Is it true that there is a sort of key passed down through generations of Engineers? or is that a rumor?

OK withhold the picture, but need some clairfication.

1. I can see how you need to provide the muscle to get things in place.

2. I can see where the comealong is needed to get the machine repositioned over the tracks.

3. But what the hell are you using the blocks of ties for? Tying damsels to the tracks? ;)
