Default How Do You Cut Railroad Ties?

Hi,

I am disassembly an old retaining wall made of railroad ties. I get
about 3 cuts per chain saw chain before they become uselessly dull.
Forget a hand saw or axe. Is there a better way to cut those things? I
have a lot more cuts to make.

Thanks,
Gary

Years ago I built a retaining wall with railroad ties and use a chainsaw
to cut them to fit.
I did not have any trouble doing so.

But I have to ask. And not snicker because I have seen this happen- is it
possible the chain is on backwards?



If he is cutting down a wall I bet he is hitting stone or grit and that is
killing his blade
