I never saw one load itself on a box car but when the 416 Cat backhoe came out we had a field day at the dealer and a factory engineer was there and operated (demonstrated) one and he could walk it around by the bucket and backhoe which then amazed us all.
Mike, I'm pretty sure I have this video at home, I will try posting it later or I can send directly to you.
I've done this onto flatdecks and picker truck beds but nothing that high!
