any one know where to get good used RR ties in the Buford area?
the railroad track
HD and Lowes sell them for like $7-8 each if I remember right...
I know it is a bit of a drive from where you're at, but the RR line up from Athens to Elberton was redoing the ties in the track just north of Athens. Not sure if the old ones get taken by the RR or if they'd let you have some....just a thought.
My dad worked for the railroad and we used to get them and bridge timbers all the time, but now days they get taken by the railroad and sold.
In the 80's you could usually ask the track foreman and get permission. Now?? who knows. You might be able to ask and get a few, but not sure how to tell you to get in touch with them.
