I own a small business in Amelia Louisiana, For some time now I have offered my customers a services call Dynamic Rail Impact Testing. It's a requirement mandated by U.S DOT, ABS and other approval agencies to test the total overall structural integrity of the equipment.

I am looking for an abandon track where I can place a non-regulated flat bed 40'rail-car on. I will then secure the equipment on the rail-car for impact.

Is this track available for rent or lease? I do not want to rent or lease this property for any public use.

Regards,

Ray
