Well looks like I eat crow here.

Follow the link above and you can see a video of this in action.

After watching the video I still feel it is a dangerous idea. Watch how when getting it down they actually pull the train out from under the loader.

A little to far and the loader will fall.

IMO this is simply putting an employee at risk for the benefit of saving money.

JMO, Bob.
