Most people on these forums (and everywhere else) are very strict about trespassing and taking railroad property. Anyone who saw the movie "October Sky" might remember the scene who the teens took all the spikes and rails off the ties for metal for their rockets. Then they heard a train whistle and started trying to put it all back. Thank god the line was an abandoned branch line, so the train didn't go there. <br /> My point: don't take anything from tracks that ensures the safe train opetration along the line. You may take the metal scrap (spikes, plates, bolts) that is not directly attached to rails, ties or any other part. I used to have a bucket full of spikes, but I took it back to the line after I realized I coudnt really do anything with them.
