Myself and Jim Fyre once had an opportunity on a western union line to be removed from KC to Abilene running along side abandoned RRX. We could get the job for a $1 per mile and all salvage rights, had to remove everything:Multi Steel Wires/Insulators/xarms/poles. Once we sit down and starting figuring it all out...it was not worth the salvage rights. To much long distant wreck out, sorting the poles/xarm/wire, selling the items. We declined the offer last Time I was in the area, the run was still there.
Don't wait on here for a reply: just sit down, figure out your equipment, time to wreck out, haul the material, store it, find a buyer. Labor-Fuel-Ins-equipment-trailer-winch-days.
I can tell you...$.10 WON'T EVEN COME CLOSE WITH TODAY COST.
good luck with it...just be safe.
