These are all the passenger cars that are listed in the auction. Note that there are cars missing, either because they've already been deaccessioned, or because perhaps there will be another auction at a later date; but, this does represent the majority of the fleet. I'll write up another post later on with the missing cars (probably sometime next week). Stay tuned.

I wonder approx what these will go for. I'm tempted to throw down a bid of like $5k on one of the N&W cars and see what happens.

I hope you're ready to own before you place that bid!

CD

Of course not, which is why I won't actually do it. I can dream though.

We put in a couple of lowball bids on some flats (good MOW material) and the power/shop cars, with no illusions of winning those. They will be the diamonds everyone else will be after.

I wonder if what doesn't sell gets relisted, or scrapped. With the price of steel still rather low, I bet they will try to list them a few times.

Since we're past the deadline any updates?

I'd be very surprised if any of the cars attracted good bids as there was no time to do inspections ( and a weird clause that required a substantial bond be posted PRIOR to inspection) and with the possible exceptions of the flats and HEP cars these cars have few other applications short of major interior modifications.

Unless they're willing to sell them for whatever the market brings my guess is most will be sold for parts ( trucks, draft gear HVAC etc. have good value and are generally in great condition) with the bodies cut up for scrap.

Time will tell. Ross Rowland

Scrap steel is going for about $180.00 a ton . $210.00 if cut down to mill size , and that's from the scrap yard. Even higher if you deal directly with a steel mill. You've got to have bid high enough to make it unprofitable for the scrapers .

Just got an email back from FELD Entertainment basically saying to go screw myself for bidding and that the minimum bid for EVERY car is now $10,000.

Getting the feeling from this and the next to impossible to meet requirements their plan is to pretend to have offered these publicly with the ultimate plan to scrap everything and wipe it off the face of the earth and hope everyone forgets they ever operated the circus.

As I posted earlier there's virtually no buyers out there for this equipment. The one buyer for the last 6 years ( IPH ) is obviously on the ropes and a seller if anything and the interiors of these cars make them unsuitable for other users.

My guess is that they'll try to make another attempt or two to sell them into the open market, perhaps hire a nationally recognized auctioneer ( and set a reserve on each car) which won't work. I think there's a high probability that they will part out most of the cars as the trucks, draft gear, HVAC pieces etc. have good resale value and scrap the bodies. The pieces are worth more than the whole.

IMHO-Ross Rowland

Did anyone on here bid on the flatcars, and if so, are they now at the $10K minimum?

Howard P.

We bid on several flats and one of the spine cars.

Got the same treatment, so I guess they think RORO flats with 2 years of interchange service left and spine cars with pretty much permanent containers attached are worth 10k each...

I also discovered the power cars have something like 16,000 hours on them... I'm sure they have been rebuilt or posibly major components changed without an hour meter reset. However that is a lot of time on the switchgear and other major components.

Yes, 10,000 would be about what a car would bring in scrap... IF no prep were needed and they were sitting in the mill so no transport.

Is it a possibility UP might grab a few for spares or to expand their passenger car fleet? With 3 soon to be active steamers there will be a HUGE demand to ride behind a double or triple header, and their current fleet is nowhere close to meet that demand.

I have received visual confirmation that the RBBX 60018 received by the Florida Railroad Museum at Parrish, had UP 5662 stenciled on the interior of the car, above the side doors, a holdover from its days as a UP car.

[Edit, August 14, 2018] Additional information has found that the car at the Florida RR museum is ex RBBX 60016, ex UP 5662. As reported by others, RBBX 60018, ex UP 6301, was scrapped due to a fire at the Palmetto rail shop in June 2017. Information from the federal STB, and from Feld Entertainment, shows that RBBX 60018 was ex UP 904811, which in-turn makes it ex UP 6301. I have updated my UP roster to reflect these changes.

It's been announced on Facebook that at least two cars have been successfully tendered, housing car #42022 AND the Red Unit "Pie Car."



I'll let the successful bidders ID themselves.
