So at a RR crossing about a mile from my house (I’m in the country with little traffic) I noticed last week they had dozens of new RR ties lining both sides of the track; today coming home they were there putting them in. So I asked if could “procure” some of the old ones. They said sure they just get ground up; take as many as I want.
Score! I want to use them for backstops on a shooting range I’m going to build.
So my question is: what’s the fastest/easiest way to load up RR ties? Pallet forks or grapple? I’m betting somebody here has loaded them...I never have and want to use what works best.
I’m going to drive my 30’ flatbed to that crossing...have my wife follow; take me back to house and drive the tractor there to load up my trailer with a yet to be decided number. Min 34; may do 68 if I think I should have the back stop be 2 ties thick. 34 would give me approximately 10’ high and 16’ long. If having 2 ties thick then hence double that to 68....
