OK, here's my news update. The rail tracks, despite being submerged, do

pull out with just the bobcat. No hydraulic assistance is needed, the

bobcat itself pulls them out. Some ties follow the rail occasionally,

but it is not so bad. The ties are rotten to the extreme.

Glad to hear it is working out to be easier than it could have been.

You get a lot of flack about asking questions here instead of doing
more research on your own, but I appreciate your posts. Much more
interesting to read than the political posts.

Thanks. Answers to questions like "how to pull old rails with
equipment you have" are almost impossible to find online due to

1) General lack of knowledge
2) Abundance of opinionated idiots unable to compose complete
sentences, especially often found on website forums
3) Situation specific issues

Two people gave me the correct advice, it was my railroad neighbors
and a scrapper who does business with railroads.
