I feel as several others have noted, a certain sadness on display covered in the fallout of many years of disuse.
If I lived close to this woman I'd be inclined to just help her without necessarily having to associate a profit with the project. I'm sure it will be a huge laborsome task...think of how she must feel when she looks at it.
From a worth point of view, no doubt there is value to many who casually look at all these photos. What course to take though, likely going to be a selective/detructive descision in the end.
I'm going to work on my railroad now
