Do you think the states who got subway cars as reefs paid for them?As a matter of fact, yes. I heard that NJ was paying $400 each for reef cars. (It was on a web site or in the paper or something.) Yes that surprised me. It also surprised me that they were dumping the stainless in the ocean. Maybe scrap stainless is worth $600/ton, but the cost of asbestos abatement seems to be greater still. Apparently ownership cannot be transfered until the current owner abates the asbestos. Plus increased health and liability insurance on its workers. The hell with it. Dump them in the ocean. The fish don't care, and will not breath the stuff anyway. ROAR |
