I wonder if the Operating Department will allow this possible move?From the Short Line RR Ass'n. 7/19 "Views & News":Norfolk Southern Railroad is continuing to offer short lines and regional railroads equipment and materials they no longer need. Now offered are:- Flat cars equipped with continuous welded rail racks for maintenance-of-way service. These cars were built in 1953 with friction side frames that have been converted to roller bearings. Former owner was Conrail. Cars are sold "as is," however, NS will move them from any NS station to any NS station for $500 per car. Closing time and date for bids is Noon, July 29. For additional details and a bid request form, click here <http://www.aslrra.org/images/news_file/NS%20Surplus%20-%207-18-05.pdf>

Don't forget--- a Class One will use a piece of rolling stock for 40+ years, sell it you on a Friday, and on the following Monday, when you go to move it from the spot they parked in, it's "too dangerous to move on own wheels"!!!!
