    Here is the straddle loader in San Bernardino intermodal yard. Placing a Schneider trailer on a spine car. Just in view on the left is the yard switcher, GP30 2738.

    FYI: At San Berdoo some are named "Terminator I, II" etc. Its located on inside of big "box" facing camera. Some at Hobart also are named but can't recall it right now. Also they are nicknamed "straddle buggies" on BNSF.
