Rail Industry Component:
ArgoTag Inc. Atlantic & Pacific Rail Supply Division: Cedar Tie Plugs

ArgoTag Inc. Atlantic & Pacific Rail Supply Division

Atlantic & Pacific Rail Supply and its predecessors, manufacture cedar tie plugs meeting Class I railroad specifications. According to the company, softwood tie plugs are said to hold the spike better than hardwood tie plugs. Cedar (soft wood) tie plugs do not have to be treated because they will absorb the treatment that the ties receive. But in case you would need it, APR Supply can offer borate treatment by soaking. Because of environmental issues, the company says it has received more demand for untreated cedar tie plugs. The company delivers across North America. RTA member.
