[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by dehusman</i> <br /><br />A good question to ask yourself is why is the railroad selling the line? What expenses are they looking at that make it unattractive financially to retain the line? <br /> <br />What bridges are on the line and how much repair do they need? <br /> <br />What is the subgrade and drainage condition of the railroad? <br /> <br />Dave H. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Good points. The bridges along the line are largely of timber construction and are in fair condition. Some state funding may be available to assist in rehabilitation. Subgrade and drainage condition is generally good, although the line does cross some lowlands and flooding and washout risks are substantial. <br /> <br />LC
