Luck was with me due to distance they signed off, giving me tittle.

The farmer nearby gave me some added work by making be moved the track to another location before I could prepare it into number one which required cutting, reason given by the farmer was that he had just spread nitrigen ferliser on the nearby field, no big deal I move the pile of track then torched it up.

After cutting I had prepared the track had a scrap yard from Penticton with a self load come out to pick it up, they had supplied the liquid oxygen at cost then also charged me $10.00 a ton for cartage. on the steel. Since rhe steel was free with a minimum of labor I came out all right on the deal.

This had been the second time fir me that Amix had signed off of forgotten scrap, the first lot was left by a crew way up Harrison Lake near Port Douglas.



Did you just email them or talk on the phone? I know an area where the tracks i was talking about got piled up along with all the spikes tie plates and switcher machines. Along with countless other stuff. Ive been thinking about getting it for awhile but i try as hard as i can to not take stuff without permission if i know someone lays claim to it. Its more over grown with weeds now than when i first stumbled upon it and i lost my three bigger trucks but its deffinately something i could handle if i got a hitch on my newer taco. I got torches and grinders and woul probably get a cut off saw with how much ****s there if i could get it.
