How Model Ts were loaded into railcars. Not really sure how they got the front wheels back on after that.

My first offhand guess would be putting a lifting sling on the front axle with the rear axle still anchored, lifting up and out, putting the front wheels on, then lowering the back end down the wall with some kind of jack or jig before putting the backs on. That’s if the back end has the clearance to pivot around the rear axle for that, which it might not.
They might just lift it up far enough to put a skid/crib under the front axle that they could tow out, which coincidentally would be able to take over from the rear axle support. Kind of a wedge-shaped block system.
The more I think about it, the more that option instead of the first
seems likely.

They look like they pulled the spindles off the kingpin

I know it’s engineered and tested and all, but that just looks like seven flavor of NOPE.

that’s honestly kind of a neat concept as long as you make sure you’ve got nothing that could possibly flop around

Seems like with the back anchored you could lift the front, if not all the way, then at least enough to get a dolly under it to roll it out as you lowered the back. Of course given the relatively modest weight, and the cheapness of labor, maybe they just got a bunch of men to carry it out.
