Never done anything like this on rail cars but used to do it all the time diggin basements. Just climb out of the hole once your done diggin, no big deal.

Looks to me like they do it a lot. Looks at the deal thats on the front bucket. looks like it goes around the top of the car.

There is a bit of a difference. the Herzog set up has brackets that attach to the sides of the rail car and a cable moving the hoe forward on to the rail car. so it is a bit safer.
