Interested in knowing a 'ballpark'cost of laying about 40 miles of track with used rails and ties. This is for construction on the old Newfoundland rwy which still has the roadbed. Thanks.<br>

First lets be clear that we are talking in Canadian dollars. To lay the narrow gauge track on an existing roadbed with a combination of relay and new ties and rail similar to what was there originally can be done for about $70 to $100 per foot. This depends on several factors including the amount of ballast/cinders available on the roadbed, the condition of bridges, and in general any needed drainage improvements.<p>Other items which add cost are rebuilding grade crossings, brush cutting and highway crossing signals.<br>
