A heritage streetcar brand new costs about $800,000.

But a new light rail car runs about twice that.

Oh man, wouldn't it be fun to have your own steam or diesel engine, to drive along the train tracks. I sure would, I just don't know what type to get.

While it would certainly be fun running a full size loco (steam even more so), if I was able to buy and run something myself, I think I'd pick up an RDC, so I could haul my friends around in it and maybe turn it into a camper for long trips... Think of the possibilities![:D]

You need to get some new numbers for that plain old boxcar, closer to 70k nowadays

Get the used ones, (their cheaper).

[Randy Stahl]

Used ones... 80% of the nations fleet is approaching 40 years old. After 40 years the car is condemned and not able to interchange. Consider your investments carefully.
