Having spent some time on work trains with the spreader I can attest to the fact that the entire machine flexes and moves around quite a bit. When ditching, the entire frame will twist, raising the wheels of the rear truck off of the rail on the side where the ditcher is working. It is a bit disconcerting but we did not have any derailments because of it in my experience.
