The truck was stuck on a slippery spot. It was a single axle truck and they get stuck rather easily compared to a tandem axle tractor. I wouldn't have pulled it over the tracks, at least not with spinning wheels.
It isn't hard to get a truck moving if you use a tow strap. I wouldn't use a chain. I have pulled many empty trucks with small vehicles (cars, pickups) if the truck just needed a bit of help in my years of owning a sand and gravel trucking business. The traction of the towing vehicle is key, of course.
