[quote user="doctorwayne"]100 ton locomotive[/quote] Steam locomotive.com page  <a href="http://steamlocomotive.com/locobase.php?country=USA&wheel=4-6-0&railroad=la#photos">http://steamlocomotive.com/locobase.php?country=USA&wheel=4-6-0&railroad=la#photos</a> Fully loaded with fuel and water 337,200lbs. Subtracting water and fuel weight, the number comes out to around 267,000lbs (I did the math before, but I do not care to re-do it at this point). When taking the scrapper's stated price into account, I got $32,000ish.  So only slightly inflated.  The wrecking ball did look odd.  That having been said, the city was only able to work out the deal originally (according to the local newspaper) because the locomotive was valued at less than $25k.  I was slightly supprised that there was not mention of that.
