Background

This was purchased sometime around 2001, and most of it came from a scrap dealer in New York State, who said was from a limestone quarry or mine.
The seller has this stuff priced at essentially the scrap price.
The seller is waiting for the price of scrap to go up, and then they are planning to sell it for scrap.
It would be a shame to have this rail scrapped, if someone can put it to good use.
Also if time permits, they may try listing it on the 'DiscoverLiveSteam.com' site's classified page, which a "live-steamer" person told us is the "hub" for selling live-steam size stuff.

A. Track Parts

(1) 30 pieces rail 30 feet long, 3 inches high
(2) 12 pieces rail varying 20-28 feet long, 3 inches high
(3) 2 switches
(4) 1 turntable
(5) estimating 75 to 100 rail joiners
(6) bucket of spikes
(7) misc. pieces she can’t identify

B. Rolling Stock Parts

(8) 1 tipping ore car
(9) 8 additional sets of wheels

Price:

$3500.00 for the above-listed track parts & rolling stock parts, Items 1 thru 9.
They want to sell all this stuff TOGETHER as one "lot". I.e. they do NOT want to break it up and sell just parts of it; as they have no idea how to price it for separate sales.

C. Railroad Ties
