Typically, the railroad’s process to determine if the property can be released for sale includes: 1) a review of your request, 2) obtaining the necessary internal approvals and 3) establishing an acceptable purchase price for the property. If the initial review indicates that the property can be sold, a purchase contract detailing the terms and conditions of the proposed sale would be provided for your review.

This should not be construed as a commitment to sell real property, as all such matters require formal approval by the senior management of the Railroad.
