Railroad ties are typically (but not always) eight feet six inches long. Standard ties are also nine inches wide and seven inches tall and are spaced about 3,000 to the mile.

A standard railroad tie is 8'6" long, 7" deep and 9" wide. And yes, there will be spike holes in a used tie. Even when the creosote has been leached out/off a tie it will still be dark gray or black colored. You have landscaping timbers.

Ties come in all sorts of sizes, it's up to the engineering department of the particular railroad. Most are either 7' or 8' long and 7"x9", though 6"x8" is also used somewhat.

Yes. And switch ties are considerably longer, 16' or more, to allow the rails to be supported as they diverge, when once again the standard ties are used.
