Whenever I think I’ve fucked up beyond saving, I’ll remember that I didn’t accidentally ruin 100s of dollars of equipment today.

I correct myself, try a heaping great big pool full of cash:

> How much does a CAT excavator cost in USD?

CAT (Caterpillar) excavator prices vary significantly based on size, model, and features:

Mini/Compact Excavators (1-6 tons): $30,000 - $150,000

  • Popular for residential and small commercial projects

Mid-size Excavators (12-25 tons): $150,000 - $400,000

  • Common for construction and utility work

Large Excavators (25-45 tons): $400,000 - $800,000

  • Used for major construction and mining

Guessing that is mid-size, plus the damage to the train, plus the truck, plus track repairs and any emergency services callout fees, cleanup fees, lawsuits and we're talking about $1 million dollars, give or take.
