56Sierra 1,844 Posted November 4, 2023 Railroad sometimes contract out the tie replacement and the contractor get to old ties. Some are too bad and they pay to have them disposed of and some are good enough to be sold for landscape timbers. Now, if there is a tie replacement program going on in your area the going price for a decent tie is a 6 pack to the right guy. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

riverc 1,317 Posted November 5, 2023 Looked online Home Depot don't have any at this time. Lowe's wants over $30 for one more than I want to pay for a used cross tie. Í'm thinking maybe call railroad company and see what they say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevron 68 Posted November 6, 2023 I bought some from Lowe’s a couple years ago. Think they are a springtime item. Local feed store used to carry them around here. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
