These timbers are difficult to work with they chew up blades and drill bits.

Poor quality

Would Not Recommend

I hoped to find better quality railroad ties than I was finding used from Craigslist, but was sorely disappointed. Most were split all the way through, had huge divots where they cut under the track plates and not have even one good side. I suppose these could be suitable for some landscape uses, but I had a very hard time finding good enough timbers to use for stairs.

Solid but slow

Would Recommend

The timbers themselves were great, but the process of retriecing and loading them into my vehicle was laxk7ng. We waited over an hour after checking out to get the help we needed.
