You need to find a source, first, and then ask them. The farm store where I used to work would get large loads of them and sell 8 ft for $7.99 each and the 10-12 ft from switch sections for 10.99. There was a discount for volume. They did not deliver.
They are in shorter supply now and I haven't seen them at that store the past year. I wanted some to make some raised beds, but my husband talked me out of it. He works for the railroad and said the all kinds of toxic chemical are in them (creasote, coal dust, chemicals that shake out of the cars that may contain most anything, since these are old ones that were on tracks before alot of EPA standards were applied to containment cars, now garbage transport from the Northeast to the Southeast to be put in commercial landfills.) They would totally ruin my organic efforts for my herbs and vegies.
Good luck finding what you want, price is going to depend on supply-demand principle where you live. Try landscape contractors in your area.

Depends entirely on where you are located....In the midwest they are $8 but in some coastal states in the US they are FAR more expensive.
