Re: F-150 pulls a train
NICE PR stunt :-) . But not as hard as it looked. :-( . Cars are designed to roll. All you need is level ground. I would still like to see one. Worked in a railcar shop some years ago.

The latter (15 & 17) were converted to loading tracks. Why you ask ? Well, the city of DETROIT NEV...
