Apparently lots of good stuff there! It should be sorted and classified. I noted several wheel sets half buried there too. Are they any good? I don't know, but if not they can be scrapped., along with the rusted truck cab, hopper car, etc. Potentially it means income for the RR from either scrapping, or reuse of materials they have but don't know about.
