Rail road cross ties

looking for RR crossties,need at least 3 ill check a few land scape places in Huntsville area tomorrow. anyone know a place with them?

I saw a sign near a register at Lowes OXR yesterday. They have them but they aren't on display

Or sneak out at night to the RR tracks between PR highway and Gurley on 72, many stacks there. J/K

the RR tracks have crossed my mind those sucker are heavy.

Me to LOL, in my younger years I'd probably have offered to help ya. Now I'm old and a lot tamer and I can afford $10 a piece

found em at $13.50 at Lowes cheaper than a lawyer to get me out of getting them from the tracks $$$........

Lol great

You got a steal. I manufactur cross ties for a living. We charge $70 for a new one.

I have not been by lowes was going today but..... I plan on looking tomorrow these are used from what I understand.

They have sure gone up. Back in 1983 they were 8.00 per tie brand new from Moss tie company in Columbus ms. Ain't no way I'd pay 70.00 for one

Yes they are used

Is this selling to the government/ railroad company directly?

Those railroad detectives will track you down. As kids we used to push the railroad's tool cart to the top of the hill and ride it down. When we were finished we would hide it in the bushes till next time. Our fun was over when the railroad detective showed up at the front door looking for that buggy. We got our tails tore up by our parents.

Wish you were closer I am burning mine but the one's I am burning are pretty rotten.

We got plenty used ones the RR I work for. We got them piled up in several places.

they selling them??? I've never been able to find anyone at any RR that will say they will sell me some or give me some.....

Heck I will ask when I go back in and let you know. They may let you have them for free. We have thousands of them here and there.

You can get switch ties from just about any saw mill 5X6 or 6x6 pretty cheap! Check with moss there in gurly

I could use about 15 myself.

Are they willing to sell a few

A crosstie is 7"x9"x8'8" they should fetch $25-$30 each.
If it's smaller dimensions, industrial grade stuff or culls they will be a lot cheaper.

I know the RR I work for in Mobile, used to let us get the used ones for free. Now no one can get them. They load'em all up on cars and sell them to someone.

If any of yall can use them un treated I may have found a place to get them from. PM me a length and qty needed and i will talk to the guy see what he says. These may be discolored and weathered looking but no rot.

I buy mine at lowes by the bundle(16). But there 10ft long instead of 8ft. There's a place in falkville that makes them and you can get seconds for 35$ if I remember right I think what the lady told me. They're not in bad shape either.
