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!)

You've received some great suggestions, but if it gets down to scrapping the
rail, the price is about as good as it gets right now. Steel is at, or near,
a record high, including scrap. Sell it off, so it will end up in China,
where they'll turn it into lathes and mills and sell them back to us. g
