    Wish I had a video of the "engine puller" we had at the auto salvage yard I worked at long ago. Used to remove junk engines, tt was a "pincher" like your thumb and index finger, mounted on a large articulating loader between the forks.

    Similar to this one I just found online.

    The wrecking yard I worked in had a Allis-Chalmers with forks and the grabber. The thing was quite powerful and it made quick work or removing engines. I have also not seen another one like that...

    I watched a excavator with a shear tear down a train before. Not a rail car, like the train engine. It was crazy how fast a good operator can rip through a piece of machinery like that. Half a day and it was gone.
