The arm does not terminate in a hoe actually. It ends in a straight metal (hollow) box type section to which chains are attached, with hooked ends. The arm simply loads/ unloads rails, sleepers etc., using these chains.

Apurva,
The backhoe seems to small enough to be used for scooping dirt to place traction masts along the perminent way.
