If that was alongside a country road, it would be so poached.

It's in Portland's old north / northweast neighborhood. If I recall ... somewhere near NE Ainsworth Street x NE 20th within a 15 block radius.
When I stopped to look. I was guessing if this kind of tree ever had to be removed, it would be worth air-spading to cut roots and hoist as much as possible.

Years ago we had a rail line that went through town. It was no longer being used. I saw a guy I knew with a hard hat and a safety vest cutting it up and loading it up. I wondered how he had got that gig. Just look official was all he was doing. Never got caught.

THE CALM ONE!!!!
I got a length of railway track. It was left lying around for about a year when they replaced the tracks. The temptation became to great and I had to have it.

I grabbed some when they were pulling it all out. Couldn't resist either. Not sure why.

I figure it'd come in handy for metal work eventually. It's been sitting beside my school bus seat, well because everyone needs one of those too.

Rather large epiphyte growth. Must be plenty of decay down the center of the Mulberry. If it lasts long enough, the Cherry should split it open someday.

I can send you three feet... or hands, if you prefer.
Seriously, the Union Pacific tracks border the back side of our wood lot/shop property and I've seen the rigs come through for repairs on the tracks. They re-welded in a section behind us. That's how we ended up with a chunk of track -- they just tossed it to the side. Swear it was on our property -- must've just rolled down the gravel embankment into our woods.

I just use it for beating stuff on, as an anvil. About a 5' piece. They came and got all the other pieces/lengths but left this one piece to tempt me with. I did check it over for tracking devices.
Technically, it's still on the ROW, and is still their property. They come by later (wayyyyyyyyyyy later) and magnet up scrap stuff, and then it's sorted and reused or recycled into new rail. From what i understand each company still has proprietary compositions for rail.
