How does it work? You jam it under the wheel and lift?

And how did you ever find THAT!? I'm impressed!

Don't know how Rob found it, but I've seen them iub use. Hung around a
small rail yard in my youth.

How it's used - put it on the rail, slide up against the wheel, push
the bar down, the small shoe comes up and rolls the wheel, thus moving
the car.
