Also..doing a search on here will net you even more info on this very topic. I remember a couple of lively threads from the past about it.

The railroad police have much sway an don't take kindly to even parts left for 50 years.



I would also check your actual state laws on it. Hearing about it, an asking a forum with folks from all over can get you many varied answers. Best bet is to check with whatever authority you need to be sure. Not sure if that would be the Railroad, the gov., etc.

Good luck an hope it works out in your favor. If I recall we have a couple montana folks here so maybe they shed more light on it for you.
