The winch post reminded me of a winch question from last summer. The wife and I visited Shelburne Museum in VT, and went through the Ticonderoga, which was a side wheeler steam ship built around 1900. It was moved to it's dry land home by rail in 1955. They winched using a winch mounted on a Ford the size of an F-7. The truck is a pimple compared to the ship, and in all the pics there was no visible means of holding the truck in place. There is nothing out in front such as a chain to a deadman. All that I can think of is some sort of frame that would have engaged a number of the railroad ties at once, then perhaps the truck was driven onto it to hold it down. Still, it seems that the pull would still have lifted ties, rails, and truck altogether. Anyone here ever involved in anything like this?
