    scrapping railroad tank car

    I bought a piece of property to develop and it has a few railroad tank cars that were turned into stationary storage tanks. I was just curious if anyone knew of parts of the car that are worth more than scrap or are a special type of scrap? Ive heard there is carbide in the brakes of a rail car but not sure if this is true or not. I also heard there are companies that buy parts like the trucks/axles to rebuild and sell back to the railroad.


    Any info would be great.

    Thanks,
    Mike
