1. I’ve never heard of any scrapyard anywhere that took rails. Think about it, you’d have every meth head around with a stolen grinder hacking up active tracks everywhere for scrap money. And,Had to haul in some scrap steal today …
Some old haros, deal that is drug behind a cultivar to level ground …
Old JD cycle bar mower …
Just random stuff that’s been sitting around rotting for years .
There were also several property markers that I had removed when clearing the land
These particular property markers were OLD 9 ft sections of railroad track
Buried 4 ft in the ground set in 4ft diameter freakin concrete!!!
These property marker have been there since Godzilla was a road lizard !!!!
I Mean!!!
They are VERY old
I spent many hours hammer drilling concrete off of them to take them in for clean scrap !!!!!
I get to this MFn scrap yard and of course railroad track sections are on the bottom of several tons of steel ….
Ol boy at the scale says .
We don’t take railroad track !
Of course I’m like …… what ?
What you mesn ?
He says “ we don’t take railroad track without express written consent from CSX and I think BNSF “
I was like WTF ?
These are mine dude
Why would I ask CSX to sell / scrap something that’s MFn MINE ?
These markers have been on the property probably longer than CSX has been a company!!!!
Anyhoo fuggers wouldn’t take them .
I just thought it was quite ridiculous!!!!!
I’m considering suing CSX and charging them for having them on my property (considering they are preventing me from selling my stuff saying it’s theirs “
Chitbslls
Pic of 3 of above mentioned property markers….

Notice the fencing d so till on at least one of said markers
And the obvious concrete stains….

2. You need your head examined for wanting to get rid of those rails in the first place. Good God, man! You’re a welder, right? Got torches? Got ideas?
