As part of an effort to encourage the environmentally and economically sound use of treated timber products, we work with rail lines and contractors to help properly reuse or dispose of ties that have reached the end of their usable life in the track. Our sorting crews travel throughout the country grading and bundling used ties into usable material or scrap, then promptly ship them to accommodate your specific job-site delivery schedule. Our strict grading system assures our ties are of the highest quality and consistency.
