Buying Railroad Ties Opens Field for Farmers Along New Haven Lines
The New York New Haven and Hartford Railroad buys ties and fence posts from local residents, distributing about 1.2 million dollars in a year to people along its lines. Over five years this could reach roughly 5 million. In one year the road bought 2,304,640 ties for properties, with 2,376,000 tied to the New Haven alone. Native ties totaled 2,100,000, paid 1,075,000 dollars, while creosoted ties from Southern pine were also used. The program funds many small sellers, including farmers and widows, with payments ranging from 12 to 10,000 dollars. Anyone with suitable wood can supply ties by writing to the railroad, awaiting inspection, and receiving payment within about 30 days. Tie procurement centers on Western Massachusetts and Connecticut, with trains sometimes collecting thousands daily.
