Private Cars

[Bob Dylan]

Interesting posting on trains.com (free forum run by Trains Magazine) about what it costs to buy/operate and maintain a private railcar!Its the post from 1-19-10 in answer to a question by a reader.

I knew it was high but had no idea it was really expensive! (If youre not a multi-millionaire dont even think about it! )

Jim you can buy railcars and even locos from this site since I'm sure you have a few million to burn :lol:

I guess that I'll just keep booking the penthouse suite (via AGR awards of course)!

Buying them is not particularly expensive, nor is maintaining them to habitable standards. Keeping them railworthy is a whole different matter.
