I have about 500' of track with 2 switches that are an officially abandoned
siding on my property. The thought was to scrap it for cash. How much does
a foot weigh? What's the best way of removing it? Is it worth it? (LOTS of
metal here!)

Rail is sized by lbs/yard, and it ranges from maybe
40lbs for a light siding like yours to 140lbs for
a modern mainline.
