-T understand CSX in full you would need to compare =========
1. Cross tie length
2. ballast shoulder length beyond end of tie
3. general tie conditions
4. number of spikes in tie plates
5. Tie plate size
6. number of anchors per tie ( average)
7. condition of ballast
8. Tie spacing
9. Amount of ballast top exposed on tie ( have seen 0 - 4 inches )
10. Ballast compaction
Not so easy is it ?
