Steve, there are one man car movers that look like a large automobile jack - they are placed under one wheel and pumped, moving the car a few inches, this is repeated to move the car further. You can move a car ten feet in about 15 minutes, enough for one man to move a different outlet over a pit. These fit in the back of a pickup.

Believe it or not, I've used one.  One of those deals where, with a big grin, they hand it to the new kid and everyone stands around waiting to see what happens next.  By knowing what it was for and how to use it I kind of surprised them I think.  Using it effectively was another matter.  A tough way to move a loaded coal hopper.  :o

I've been to the site twice and both times multiple cars were present and coupled together. The wheels on the conveyor lead me to believe it moves and not the cars.
