I don't know how many complete switches you guys have bought lately but they are about $10,000 each used + shipping, I know because I just helped a guy purchase 3 of em', I wouldn't even want to take a guess on the price of new. I know some railroads have stock piles of used track materials but I don't think the C&TS does...
