You can often find free railroad ties from local construction sites, railroads, or landscaping companies that may have surplus materials. Check online marketplaces like Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace, where individuals sometimes give away ties for free or at a low cost. Additionally, contacting local railroads directly can yield leads, as they sometimes have old ties they need to dispose of. Just be sure to check local regulations regarding the use of reclaimed railroad ties, as they may be treated with chemicals that can pose environmental risks.
