I'm referring to the large ties taken from former rail lines. They have to be in the neighborhood of 200lbs.
I guess I answered my question, but I would like someone to verify.

alot, but it depends on how long they are.

Gina I am replacing an old railroad tie retaining wall that I built over 40 years ago. The replacement ties weigh approximately 200 pounds. This is “dead weight” and they are very difficult to move. They outweigh me by 55 pounds. I pick up one end and move it then repeat the process with the other end. I am working in a bricked courtyard and use a piano dolly to transport the ties into position. The final positioning is the most difficult part. Keep your fingers out of the way!

I am just guessing here, but I assume you mean the ones you can get at a home improvement store. I can lift one end and drag them around the yard, so about 20 pounds. It's not so much the weight but the length that becomes a problem.

Don't know the exact weight but I needed to use my lawn tractor to drag them where I wanted them last spring. I could barely lift one end let alone move it and I'm not no petite female. lol Rather handle a wild horse than a railroad tie with my gloved hands.
