Here's a neat vid of the soon-to-be-released 2011 Ford Ranger pulling an R-class locomotive out of its shed in Victoria:

Crosspost from the mechanical failures thread, courtesy of one of my engineering friends:

"The wheel failure happened many years ago, at sandy, on an intercity train from kings cross.

The axle failure happened near melton Mowbray at speed, and made a mess of a couple of miles of track. Strangely the media managed to not pick up on this story, they just listed it as a broken down train."

Have they switched to using concrete sleepers in NSW now? That's all they use here in Wait Awhile (on the metro passenger lines anyway)
