WOW, Great post Rarebird, Open letter to Bank of England. Thank you for wanting to move your Gold over our RailRoad, I checked into the rates, Your tons are too small to handle on our RailRoad . most coal trains are about 15,000 tons, yes we converted your troy to Avoirdupois.! grain trains about about 10,000 ton. most Frt trains about 5,000 tons. yours falls under the Copper, Zinc, scrap metal rate. The IMF wanted to Haul with us, but they have only 400 tons, 10 millions ozs to dump. We suggest, than with your small tons, you should just mint 1 oz coins and be done with it, maybe a few 100 oz bars to the big boys. Thanks for your call, we only handle 5,000 tons to start with. We are a Heavy Haul Rail Road. ps. Gold is not a investment. Gold will not pay interest, NO RISK. You might as well just hang onto the stuff, Y2K is coming. and you sure don;t know the price of the stuff in 5 years, DO YOU ? I just told the guy that wanted to dump his aluminum, to hang on, the price is at a 20 year low, The Railroader. You only have 500 tons, that would be only 5 boxcars full. sorry. good luck on your sale. Bill Gates just called, He wants all 5 cars full. he has lots of paper money, and wants to hedge for Y2K
