Remove non-historic asphalt paving covering two historic railroad spur tracks at Railtown 1897 State Historic Park to expose the underlying deteriorated wooden cross-ties to prevent train derailment. Work will remove all deteriorated cross-ties and replace in-kind with new wooden cross-ties to the same grade, alignment and dimensions as originally set beneath the rails. The existing steel rails, tie-plates and spikes will be removed and reinstalled with the new wooden cross-ties in the same position and alignment as originally set. The refurbished tracks will remain exposed and not covered with asphalt paving.
