Stuff beside a railroad track

[cobrajet69]

Items are huge blocks of granite. I have ability to get them and move them, but there is obviously a reason they have been there for ~100 years. Story we got was possibly blocks used when building the capitol. They can be seen in aerial photos from the 1950s but that is all I can verify.

I took that ride a few months ago and had the same questions.

Hard to imagine them sitting there for this long.

When you go to get it, watch out for Ace, Eyeball and the rest of the gang.

Oh look another dfw dumbass. " Hello dispatcher there is unauthorized equipment next to the track at mile post 202 with no form B posted. Looks like some guys trying to steal stuff." Ok special agent, RMCC, and local authorities have been notified. Dispatcher out

So what you're saying is don't take them when a train is coming? lol

[roliath]

Just curious but what are the items in question? Old car? Machinery? ???

d.b. coopers money?

[racrguy]

Yeah, better watch out, they'll bring in their Death Star and nuke you from orbit if you get close to their coveted choo choo easement.


Stevo

No worries about the Death Star, Obama put the kibosh on those plans.

EXACTLY! Trains don't pass by every minute of every day, just learn the rail schedule and get 'er done!

Just wait till there is a derailment and they need access thru your property. Chooooo$$$$$$$$ Choooooo$$$$. Just be sure you're standing at the locked gate with a key in your hand. That check will still be warm when they hand it to you.

one time i found a train engine car sitting on the tracks. it had been there for almost a week so i put an orange tow sticker on it. i came back and got it 24 hours later under the clause of move your shit/finder keepers.

i put some tires on it and daily drove it for a while then sold it a charity auction. i regret it but it was for a good cause.

[bubbaearl]

i dont use a key to protect my property . they have a right of way they can use it but they cut one strand of wire and it's on . hell they would just shove it aside and get to it later like everything else .

Are derailments even common anymore?

I'm pretty sure they happen all the time.
