I had a pal who worked for the Union Pacific on the bridges and buildings crew. He lived in a converted Pullman car and it had power, water, phone and cable hooked up to local utilities. And the toilet was an incinerator type. Young, single and no rent for watching the yard where it was parked. Pretty cool set up. And a 10 minute walk to local bars.

Want an expansion? Just couple up the other car.

She did a great job on it. Very sharp.

No mail, no electricity, no water, no Tv; train yards can be noisy. Might not be able to park a vehicle close.

Wow, too bad I just found this. I want that home!!

Perfect man cave for a rail fan!

The, "low profile" could come back to haunt her. I would paint the exterior. The abandoned look attracts transients.

This is too cool. I would love it. Kind of like a bat cave on rails.

i will come up with enough money to buy that house. i would choose that over a mansion unless the mansion is across train tracks. i would love to live there because of my love for trains

weird fetish

I would love this!!!!

im not fond of the modern interior but I love the concept, very cool

Makes me glad we bought new 1969 45k today 200k in a normal redwood sided ranch house.

If I had money, I’d do the same thing.

BTW the railroad that rents the siding is the Oregon Pacific Railroad

Great interior. Yipes!!! what an ugly exterior and the neighborhood is a mugger and thief wet dream. Hobums sleeping under a $80,000+ train conversion OMG!!!!!

Wow unbelievable

I know this is a old post,BUT i wonder what ever happened with this deal. (lol) They scrap newer cars just like this in El Paso,Tx makin R-bar from it. Some people have more $$$ than brains..

Like a narrow boat that doesn’t float.

Looks cool *:)*

Imagine a train accidentally couples up and starts moving

Why does it remind me of a Canadian Pacific coach?

Which disused line is this?

Like a loft? Everything's like a loft in Portland 🙄

POV: You ruin a 1949 Pullman car

keeping it low profile, like being on cnn

So that’s the inside of garage trailers look like

Why? What is the true cost when you try to sell it or abandon it after 1-2 years? Someone hasn't thought this through! This has all the problems of a "tiny house" X100! They say, "But I don't have to pay taxes." But taxes are included in the rent, so you pay more than the tax to rent! And then there is the "no running water" part of the equation. I spent $69,900 for a small house on 1/2 acre, in a small town, easy commute to 2 major cities. I have a garage, running water, and I never have to worry about being forced to move my house!

I think the train car is more for the novelty of living in a train car. Amtrak will also carry private cars that meet their standards. The car definitely had a potable water tank at some point. Not sure why someone would get rid of that.

Moving must be a cinch.

300 grand in 2021 at least!!!!

can not move anywhere 'you want'...you can get a 'real' PV for similiar money..AND go anywhere-IF you get it insured.

Impressive on the inside but I would not want to live in this with location and the horrid train going by.

Looks like its parked in a dump.

Neat

Did they remove all the mold infected wood also?

I would assume so. If not, it would be a bit hazardous to their health. They did say it was gutted at the beginning.

$1k a month to rent a piece of railroad? BWAHAHAHHA

Escape hatches are not a requirement on railroad cars, probably not even allowed. Only emergency window panes.

Oh ok

screen remains black

crap of a neigborhood.

*Reads title* Well, shit

mm nah !!!!

Certainly very safe once insideespecially is someone puts a padlock on the outside after you get in. Then you can't get out.

for more of this check out eco gypsy .guru or eco gypsy on you tube cheers all

Cool rail car in a crap city. Only CNN show that’s not a lie.

in a horrible location, damaged property, damaged land, limitations due to zoning, list goes on....you are gullible af if you think this is worth 100k

I'm surprised the city doesn't charge her for the graffiti

railfans 👇

what a rip off

Would be nice as a house add on... be better to own an old depot as main house, and this as like a bedroom or living room.
