How many ties are in 1,000 miles of railroad track?

Question

railroad ties, as in the wood i think...

Answer 1

For main line, 21" on center, 3017, per mile.  Yard tracks and sidings have fewer as the cross ties are further apart due to the fact the speed is much slower and less support is needed for the rail support.

So, 3017 x 1000 =  30,170,000.

Answer 2

you are probably the stupidest person that has the privilege of living and breathing that i know.  it is freaking simple math and you are too gosh darn busy taking ridiculous picture of yourself...yeah that's right you are an idiot! and by the way it is 2,500,000!

Answer 3

Assuming they are 3 feet apart, it would be around 1,760,000 .

Answer 4

I'd say around 15,000,00
