Re: [CBQ] RE: Railroad Freight Cars Moving on Their Own

[STEVEN HOLDING <sholding@sbcglobal.net>]

That is what we use to use at the Sheep Yards to move the loads of Alfalfa 
Pellets in the elevator
We use to have to respot the hopper bottoms over the pit.  Once empty we could 
use the tractor to give the car a shove faster so it would roll out over the 
switch  to get it clear of the building
