How do trucks with rail wheels get on and off the tracks?

How do trucks with rail wheels get on and off the tracks?
In the old days, there was a lift point that had a jack lift specifically designed for it. They are still in use, but now almost all trainyards have a forflift for the job. If you notice on the trucks, there are specially made metal lift points/sleeves welded to the undercarriage for the forklift forks to fit into.
