Not anything that screams Railroad but there a few interesting wrenches shown in one of the pictures. Not worth anywhere near what he is asking in my opinion.

The saw vise is a Disston #4, ----really--- desirable to me.
The 2 1/2" slick is really unusual and highly desirable. They are always wider than this!
There is a Disston #12 panel saw in the pile. Can't tell if its any good or not.
Otherwise..................
I could have rounded these tools up out of my own basement in an hour (except for maybe a couple), and not even missed them! Common ordinary tools you'd see anywhere old tools lounge around.
And what possible fantasy railroad connection is the seller grasping at?
Ice tongs? Sheep shears, a sickle and a hay bale hook?
I didn't see a single railroad specific tool and plenty of standard farm tools.
I'd match these tools with better quality tools, at 1/2 the price?? Any takers??? heeheehe

That poor lister has a broken decimalator and can't seem to get his decimal point working correctly.
