Sources for railroad ties?

glhs837 · 02-08-2013, 03:03 PM

Who has them locally? Not sure if i will use them for a backstop, but figured if I do, better to have that infor handy. Looking at CL, I see a place in VA south of Richmond has 8x8x8 for $12 each. Of course, at 130-140lbs each, figuring I would need about 23 of them, hauling that many back from that distance would be prohibitive since my trailers only good for about 1,300lbs.

I know some place stock new ones, but this isnt pretty landscaping, it's going to be shot up.
