WTB Railroad ties

[Buckmaster]

Long shot here....but does anyone have any leads here in NE Ohio for a deal on RR ties?

I think I need about 34-40 of them to create a raised bed for my garden.

I got the topsoil delivery yesterday; now I just need to box it in.

Just seen a posting today for free RR ties... let me see if I can find it again.

Ahhh that's no good, guy only has 4 or 5 of them, free though, but probably not worth your trip.

get ahold of the railroad office in your area , they will give you a permit to get rail road ties from where they stack em up

Ben..we used to get them for free from the Mingo Juction Plant. You kind of had to pick threw to get the better ones but they were free. If you are interested in doing this let me know. My pops is retired now, but could probably make a call.

I need them here at my place in Portage County. At 200 pound each time 35 of them that's about 7,000 pounds worth. I think my little trailer can accomodate 1,000 pounds, or make 7-8 trips, or have someone deliver them.

My cousin, Mike Scott (Cynergyone) on here, works for the railroad and is often in Northern Ohio, mid Ohio, or Steubenville/Mingo area. He may know of something for you. If you would like his cell number let me know or maybe PM him on here. He doesn't get on much, but he may see the message through his email. Let me know. If you need a quick response just text me or something... 740-317-7948.

Ben I would be worried about what they might leach into your soil. Maybe they won't, but you might want to look into it.

I have a place here in NW Ohio that has a stack of ties bigger than 5 houses ...probably too far though

Talk to me about this place Ryan. I am going to need some this summer to build my backstop. I am putting in a range on one of our properties. Need to get over my spring hump, and then I am going to hit it hard. Does this place sell them or what is the deal? Would love to know. Thanks

34-40? Damn big garden. How many yards of soil you get?

Sutherland Lumber in Circleville had a stack of them around February. I don't know if all Sutherland Lumber carries them or not.

I got 40 yards of preminum mix screened topsoil mixed with sand, manure, and lime.

Damn railroad ties. You be heavy.

 

[Buckmaster]

That's about how many I need.
