Built to last and priced for value, Grade 2 Creosote-Treated Railroad Ties are 8-foot used ties in solid structural condition — less surface wear and checking than Grade 3, with the same proven durability that made railroad ties a ranch and farm staple for generations. Creosote treatment delivers deep penetration into the wood, providing long-term resistance to rot, insects, and ground moisture that outlasts most modern pressure-treated alternatives in heavy-duty outdoor applications.
At 85 lbs per tie, these are serious, heavy-duty timbers built for projects that need to hold. Whether you’re stacking a retaining wall, framing a raised bed, setting fence posts, or building out a corral, Grade 2 ties give you structural integrity and a consistent appearance without paying Grade 1 prices.
