Koppers and America’s Railroads… Getting There! Dependable,
economical, pressure-treated wood crossties, switch ties, and lumber
are the foundation of Koppers railroad products and services. With

Koppers relationship with the railroad companies
has been beneficial to both supplier and customer for more than
75 years, achieving a harmony rarely seen in the business world
for such an extended period of time. They are working for a common,
straightforward goal…getting there.
Our national tie procurement network assures ready availability
of Koppers crossties and switch ties when and where railroads
need them. Koppers has met that goal for over three-quarters
of a century. To sustain an uninterrupted supply of top-quality
crossties, Koppers maintains a network of 30 hardwood crosstie
concentration yards. Untreated crossties and switch ties from
these procurement centers are delivered as needed to Koppers
wood treating plants.
Koppers wood treatment plants produce high quality creosote-treated
crossties, switch ties and lumber. All 10 plants combine industry-standard
treatment with strategic location to provide reliability with
maximum efficiency.
