Railway sleeper dimensions
All dimensions are approx.e.g.
an 8' 6" railway sleeper may vary in length, by an inch or so. In addition,
some railway sleepers are not cut
perfectly square at the ends, which makes them hard to measure accurately.
Allow some leaway in your precise calculations, and allow for trimming if
necessary!
Railway sleeper treatment
Railway sleepers are often
treated in different ways, and it's not always possible to know precisely
what an
old railway sleeper was originally treated with. See railway
sleeper treatments for further details

Different Grades & condition of railway sleepers
1st grade
Best condition. Generally squarer, straighter, fewer cracks.
2nd grade
Generally good. Possibly some rounded waney edges, some cracks in the ends,
sometimes slightly bowed along the length.
3rd grade
Most likely to be irregular, weathered, battered, cracked, damaged, some decay,
bowed etc....
... but not necessarily all at the same time ! Despite all this, they may
last for ages.
Reject grade
Lowest grade, pretty poor. A motley mixture of odds and sods that are only
available for selection or collection in the flesh, to avoid disappointment
or shock !
