Train shipping ( was Re: VT fixums )

I once saw two guys push a fully populated six foot equipment rack onto a local (rail car type) train using the wheelchair ramp. They put it in the lobby area where the doors are and retracted the wheels. It turned out (from their conversation) it was signaling equipment for a station further down the line. Regards ?
