So, recycled material is used to make railroad ties? Nice video.

Thank you for your kind words…Basically when the old rail, ties ( we call sleepers) are damaged and could possibly cause a train to derail its pulled up and then bought to our site and we dismantle everything, bolts, screws the whole lot. The majority will be sold as scrap or be used for gardens or farms. If some of it is good enough it will be cleaned and sent back out to be used again. I hope this makes sense…if not watch this video and it will give you a better understanding
