    Mix it in with your regular scrap. Doubt anyone will say boo. Now if you were to start hauling in tons of rail, some eyebrows will be raised. Or even A piece of rail I imagine they will ask questions.

    My grandpa had a short piece that he used for an anvil. I wonder where he acquired it from.

    My grandpa had a piece about 16" long that was left over from a area rebuild. With the curves and such, there will be places where a rail needs to be shortened to fit. He used his as a boat anchor and anvil. Heavy sucker for a 10 year old on anchor duty!

    Cut it up in 6" sections. Tac 3 RR spikes. Makes good door stops/bookends/ Anvil ! They are pretty hot sellers on Ebay & for me on CL. I can get anywhere from $35.00 - $50.00!
