Test patches of concrete railroad ties donated by the BNSF Railway were deployed ranging from
25tons to 400tons to determine best practice.
We were able to deploy 10.6 million pounds (5600 tons) of recycled concrete railroad ties in
2018. These were deployed into the 32 foot tall “Big Pile” which is still to be named. (Big donors
get things named for them, hint hint hint.)
We also built most of the five hundred foot long CCA Ridge.
