Rick,

  The owner/operator could have got rid of these parts
or cars a long time ago, if he knew how. I think he
got stuck between the old world and new world. I
talked with who I believe was the guy who's been
operating this yard for the last few years and
although he appeared to be a decent guy, I'm sure he
has no clue about the internet or how to use it to his
advantage.
