I've never weighed one but picked up one end several times.....they are pop your gizzard heavy.
BTW, NEVER use used RR ties for anything on your property. The creosote (sp) penetrates about an inch in. The spike holes make glorius housing for critters....the ones with 6-8 legs, carpenter ants, termites...yada. They build an easy colony in there then start eyeballin' your house. |
