The DRHS has an option opening up to grab two 3000 series boxcars. Both have no trucks ( like almost all new finds). We will need to haul them off the site.

The question is: Does anyone have a really good guess on the weight of the cars without the trucks? Or inversely does anyone know what the weight of a pair of trucks are so we could subtract them from the LtW?

It's really a "what crane, trailer combination are we going to need, or get away with" and the cost $$$ to go with it.
