Probably 10x cost by rail.

And it appears the SLRG only makes 1 trip a week to Antonito now. Then they'd have to figure how to unload it. It could be delivered in an afternoon by truck and use the ramp at the engine house.

My son worked on getting the switcher in Canon City sent to Arizona. For some reason UP wanted to interchange it to the BNSF in Denver. So it went up the Joint Line on the UP then back down on the BNSF a day or two later.
