If this in an old post my bad but It all depends on your location, and the rail roads location, also how uncaring your local yards may be. I have a few new yards here that visually inspect nearly everything, have a radiation detector on the incoming side of the scale, and make you get the sticker on freon units, needless to say I wouldn't suggest taking Rail Roads to a yard like that, but if abandoned, like say by the "rail trail" bike path, i would gather that up and go to the yard down the road. They usually take just about anything, even the more questionable items, usually no questions asked. sorta like a don't ask don't tell policy. they put up signs around the yard saying what needs to happen, or what they can't take (like stolen goods for example) but if they don't ask if its stolen and you don't say you stole it they can't claim anything wasn't yours to begin with. There used to be a young hispanic guy come in with a slammed honda civic with 10 buckets of copper literally every day and no one even questioned him. I almost said something, but didn't want to get involved in something like that being just out of high school.
