Below is a cost breakdown to move them to the station. Since 1996 we added 5 more cabooses, two in 1997 and three in 1998 which we put on the Rupert Train Bridge. Adding more photos of them later, being shipped by truck, rail and some of them being lifted with a crane. I've been looking for a LVRR caboose for a while now. They are hard to come by.
MOST railroads let bids on their scrap.
I was bidding against to buy the junk I didn't want. The railroads that sold the cars wanted them gone within 5 days of the sale. Sorry to sound a bit angry here but this kind of thing takes A LOT of heavy, hard work and cold hard cash. I sold many coaches, diners, sleepers, lounges, hacks, locomotives, cranes, motorcars, rail, ties, ballast, track machines and made some good money. I also lost my shirt on a few of them.
