I'm trying to see what it would take to get the contract to remove the railroad rails/ties from the old right of ways to prepare them to become trails. Your thread shows you don't have to be a big corporation to land a big job. I look forward to following this job as it goes on, good luck and be safe!
Theres a guy here waay up north that got a similar contract, "king of obsolete" is his name. He made an appearance on Ice Road Truckers too. He runs antique dozers from the 30s and 40s as well as some classic rigs. Hes a small company and he used his dozers to rip up rail, drag it to where he could cut/load it onto his trucks and scrapped it. He has a website which documented the whole process. I forget it now but let google help you out!
