0 Smittie Lilburn, GA on Apr 08, 2012 Like Clip I have a retaining wall made of railroad ties that has rotted. What advice do you have for replacing? Displaying 1 of 7 comments See All Comments Nicole H East Peoria, IL We've recently been adding in retaining wall blocks directly in front of failing railroad ties at our house. We remove the top level and backfill with pea-gravel. It's prevents us from having to remove all of the railroad ties. 1 NOTE: You can drag and drop your photos to reorder them Required Comment Saving...
