The process of severing railroad ties involves using appropriate tools and techniques to reduce the size of these large, often creosote-treated timbers. This may be required for disposal, repurposing in landscaping, or other applications where a smaller piece is needed. Examples include creating retaining walls, garden borders, or steps.
Reducing these durable components to manageable sizes allows for easier handling and integration into various projects. Historically, these timbers were primarily disposed of after their service life. However, current trends favor repurposing these materials, leading to increased demand for efficient sectioning methods. This repurposing also keeps the treated wood out of landfills.
