Wonder if it's normal to drive at top speed through the train cars?

wow, I bet these guys do this all the time, and know their environment, get those trains unloaded fast, it's cheaper that way.

It is easier to go straight the faster you go. You just gotta make sure your straight line matches what you are driving on.

I used to blast, paint and repair those things. They'd come in all busted to hell and back. Maybe the center tracks helped keep the cars straight

It sure would make a mess if they missed the ramp between the cars.

The guys that used to drive on the trains at my old plant were paid an hourly rate, but had to make a weight requirement. The faster they were done the quicker they went home. no messing around out in the yard. They flew and were very good a getting the trains loaded fast just like the guys in the vid.

I live a few miles from the big GM plant in Delta Township, MI. They have a huge car lot there, with adjacent train tracks for loading. I'll have to drive down there one day and watch 'em do this. Seems like it might be pretty entertaining.

Now you know why God invented the paintless dent removal guy.
