Axion enters Asian tie market with in-track testing
Anyone know what happened to US Plastics, out of south Florida. They were going to make railroad ties out of re-cycled milk jugs, etc…
Are they able to get the biodegradable corn filler out of the plastic? That would compete favorably with the $100 wood tie.

Where in Asia? Asia is a pretty big continent.
