I have about 500' of track with 2 switches that are an officially

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.

Wouldn't it be more fun to get a locomotive or to
lease it out to a railclub?
