Railroad Cross Switch Ties

Railroad - Cross ties and Switch ties

Brochure

With strategically placed inventories placed across North America, WLTS can deliver wherever and whenever material is needed.

We maintain inventories of all standard sizes, including both 6”x8” & 7”x9” Cross Ties and Switch Ties.

Working with Class One, Short line railroads and railroad contractors all ties are graded and treated to comply with individual railroad specifications, meeting or exceeding both AREMA and AWPA standards.

In addition to all standard railroad ties, we offer custom cutting and fabrication with a choice of treatment: creosote, copper naphthenate, ACZA and/or Borate treatment.

Not only are truck load and rail car quantities/deliveries available, we offer ‘Vendor Managed Inventory’ options to our long-term partners.
