these are new rails, I bought them at auction.

I did a search; surprised at how many folks are selling 'em and for what
a range of pricing! I guess it must be harder to lay one's hands on a

the real problem is most folk don't have a way to handle a chunk the

Rails are not easy to come by.

Once I bought rails in the ground that I had to pull with my skid

truckload of rails.

The second time I bought a pile of mostly new rails and some
used. This is what I am selling off right now.
