Cost (Per Mile)
Long Term Economics: RR Ties
The cost of installation of wood and Axion ties is identical
AXION TIES PAY FOR THEMSELVES IN ONE REPLACEMENT CYCLE
The performance of Axion Ties remains consistent across all environments
Axion Ties are most cost effective in areas of severe climate stresses-
high moisture, rain, insect infestation
Increased disposal costs for creosote-treated ties make Axion Ties more
cost efficient (Axion Ties can be recycled at the end of their useful life)
Positive greenhouse gas impact could lead to carbon credits
Versus Wood Ties
