As I mentioned earlier, I purchased some old railroad rails on a
private property.
Most scrap yards will not accept rail as 99.999% of it is owned by a
railroad, even on private property, even if it has been out of
service for years.
You might want to find out if the local yard will accept it before pulling it up.
All rail has been scrapped. I negotiated the price with scrap yard
before pulling the rails.
Hmmm, on second thought I wonder if a pair of tin snips wouldn't have worked easier with all the rail cutting (hehe).
