| Post subject: | Cheap Tank Cars |
The Navy is auctioning 9 tank cars that were built 1952-1962. Since most spent their life within the confines of Norfolk Naval Shipyard they probably have low miles and are well maintained. Starting bid is $35/each...bidding can be done on-line and closes Aug 20th. Pictures are on the web page. May be useful for something? http://www.govliquidation.com/auction/view?auctionId=228688&convertTo=USD whayes@nsn.cmar.navy.mil |

And the Naval Weapons Station at Earle, N.J. is trying to dispose of about 250 50-ton XL boxcars built about 1954. 5-1/2 x 10" friction bearings, wood floors, many with sprayed-on asbestoes interior rustproofing, some with new galvanized roofs, instead. It may be possible to arrange movement on their own wheels to any point on the Navy's railroad, which does extend a long distance into Newark Bay. 104577.651@compuserve.com |

There is also what appears to be Pullman-built Troop Sleeper car, fitted out with living quarters and a diesel generator set, up for auction. Apparently located at Eglin Air Force base in Florida, starting bid also $35. Dan Troop Sleeper up for Auction ge44tonner@cox.net |
