A Syrian strongman pulled a train packed with passengers using nothing but muscle power.Crowds gathered at Kadam train station near the capital Damascus to watch Adnan Ismail al-Awad put his strength to the test.The onlookers came to watch him pull a train which he claimed weighed over 100 tonnes, reports the Daily Telegraph."Its length is 20 meters and it weighs 2.5 tonnes. But when we pull something on an incline it becomes heavier. So it becomes more than 100 tonnes," said Awad.After getting into his harness, and positioning himself over the tracks, he began to tug the train. The wheels moved, and Awad managed to pull it along the rusty line.One of the engineers who works at the train station said the stunt needed incredible power."The difficulty is at the beginning with getting the carriages to move, this needs great strength, more than 100 horses," said Mohamad Youssef.
