Default Pulling rails from the ground

Thanks, Iggy. I just had a sudden fear that you had to leave metal-free
ground and pull all the spikes, even though none of the discussions said
that. Aren't massive power tools great? Don't cut, just drive over :-).
Glad it went so well for you.

How did you wind up cutting back the shrubbery?


We did not even cut anything, just drove the bobcat over stuff as was
necessary. Maybe they pulled one tree with a chain.

Were any of the rails worth saving for anvils, or were they all too far
gone?


I decided it was not worth the trouble, I now am trying to sell less
on ebay and scrap more, I hate ebay due to their latest changes.

Never thought to ask before, but were you responsible for pulling all of
the
spikes, or just the rails?


I could pull as much as I wanted. I got whatever was easy to get, all
rails and some plates/spikes. Maybe a ton of plates and spikes was
pulled in total.
