Switch Ties and Timbers
In addition, our team provides longer switch ties and specialized rail timbers for complex track layouts. These larger timbers remain essential for supporting the mechanisms of track switches where durability is paramount. Consequently, we supply these in various lengths to meet the specific engineering drawings of your rail project. Our mill-direct status means we can fulfill orders for non-standard sizes that many general suppliers do not stock. From landscape-grade ties to heavy-duty industrial switch sets, we provide the timber that keeps the region moving. View the Wood Database.
