Guidelines for purchasing used goods.

Although we at Paragon are excited to provide an outlet for recycled goods we also have to balance this with our primary business line, which is bridge building. We kindly ask that you follow the these guidelines in order to keep this outlet of recycled goods available to you and the general public.

Pictures of exactly what is available at any given time can be e-mailed to clients.

Please be considerate of Paragon's time. We may charge clients for time consuming tasks requested.

Paragon recommends that you inspect used parts in person before purchasing.

All goods are sold to the first person to pay for goods. Paragon does not hold unpaid goods.

No refunds for used goods.

Used Wheel Sets

Paragon Railcar Salvage usually has several railcar wheel sets available and ready for immediate delivery at our Colorado facility.

These wheel sets are generally acquired when we receive a railroad car to our facility via railroad. Railcars are stripped down and reuseable parts, like these wheel sets, are saved. All railcars delivered to Paragon via railroad must meet AAR / FRA interchange rules which means that these wheel sets are usually in pretty good condition when we get them. Some are almost new with paper tags still on them.

Sizes: The most common size we see are 33" diameter wheels with 5 1/2" X 11" bearings which are generally considered to be 70 ton wheel sets. Other sizes do come in but not as often as the 70 ton wheel sets. Call to see what is available today.

What does a wheel set consist of?
A wheel set consists of a single axle, two wheel plates, and two roller bearings.

What does a truck set consist of?
A truck set consists of two wheel sets, four roller bearing adapters, two side frames, a single truck bolster, various truck springs, and whatever other truck or brake parts that are available.

Price: $1000 per wheel set
