Keep in mind that Iggy likely is getting somehing like $0.10/pound for

Thats $4 a foot.
$200 for every 25 foot of track (two rails)

$800 for 100 foot of track. (2 rails)

Not a bad money maker.

Not to mention side sales for anvils and whatnot.

$8000 for 1000 feet of track.

This of course doesnt include fishplates, spikes and whatnot which
would increase the sale price significantly.
