I attended both the previous incidents in Pitt St. I didn't see the Unimog at either of them, so I'd guess it is not equipped for this sort of incident.
The first approach was to try and drive the tram backwards from the other end. But that suspended section is not real good at telling the end module where it needs to go. All it did was increase its angle to the track.
The missing tool (as Mick Duncan will confirm) is 'pyramid plates' as shown in the attached pic.
Careful placement and a liberal coating of grease points the derailed truck in the right direction when the tram is nudged.
Having said that, fixed trucks make that a bit harder!
