Just use a chain saw but get ready to sharpen it a lot
To create a railroad tie bench DIY project, you will need railroad ties, a saw, drill, screws, and a level. Cut the ties to your desired length, then arrange them in a bench shape. Drill pilot holes and secure the ties together with screws. Use a level to ensure the bench is even. Add cushions or sealant for finishing touches.
Railroad ties in the US are nearly all made from oak that has been treated with a preservative. For higher speed track and where continuous welded rail (CWR) has been installed, concrete ties are in use for many lines rather than wood. Metal ties have been tried, but in the past were considered somewhat unsuccessfule. An exotic wood called azobe has been used, and it seems to be preferred over treated oak where it has been used. Composite ties have also been used.

It only looks like a letter X. In fact it is a cross.
Some creative ways to repurpose railroad ties include using them to make unique furniture pieces like benches, tables, or planters. You can also use them for landscaping projects, such as building retaining walls or creating pathways in your garden. Just be sure to properly treat the wood to prevent any potential hazards from the chemicals used in railroad ties.

Yes. If it is going to be a supporting wall, add "Teeth". (RR ties running at 90 degrees from the wall, about 4 ft long). Use a 1 1/2 ft drill bit to bore holes to add steel rebar to bond the RR ties together.

To efficiently and safely use a cross-cutting technique to cut wood, follow these steps: Secure the wood on a stable surface. Use a sharp cross-cut saw with the appropriate teeth per inch for the wood type. Position yourself to the side of the wood, not directly in front of the saw. Start the cut with a light stroke to create a guide groove. Use a steady and controlled motion to cut through the wood, keeping your fingers away from the blade. Use a push stick or clamp to hold the wood in place near the end of the cut to prevent kickback. Wear appropriate safety gear, such as goggles and gloves, to protect yourself.
Everyday use saw is a cross cut hand saw. This can be used for a variety of materials and tasks.
