Having access to a train was much more desirable in 1886. It meant you could ship your stuff to markets across the nation. Today no one wants a train in the backyard. Plus 1000s of people died constructing these railroads. That's not

I bet moving costs at least $400 out of pocket plus you have to value you time. 2 people packing and moving is 20+ hours each. 40 hours * $20/hr = $800 so you are breaking even at best.
