[CBQ] Olympus Scrapped

[qutlx1@aol.com]

Dave asked.........."Unbelievable!! How in the world can you “accidentally” scrap a stainless
steel baggage car?!?"

Unfortunately scrapping a good car happens more often than one would think. Generally its a breakdown in communication to the guys actually working the job,lack of a double check procedure(the old measure twice,saw once) or failure to follow the double check procedure. I know one dismantler who will not start work until the foreman has stencilled each car that is to be scrapped. No special stencil you dont touch the car.

 

On active cars "cut": in error the car owner simply presents the dismantling contractor the AAR depreciated value of the car.When the scrapper realizes he has to pay $30-$80,000 for $12-15,000 worth of scrap the above procedures get put in place real fast.
