This #2 Grade Used Railroad Cross Tie is an authentic hardwood timber—ideal for rugged landscaping and earth-retaining projects. Measuring approximately 7 inches x 9 inches x 8 feet, each tie is creosote-treated for long-lasting durability. These ties are reclaimed from active rail lines, so expect natural wear such as knots, checks, splits, and possible imperfections on one or more sides. Their rustic look and heavy-duty build make them perfect for garden borders, retaining walls, raised beds, and outdoor décor where structural precision isn’t required. As the wood dries, natural movement such as checking, warping, and shrinking may occur. Each piece is unique.
