Railway Sleepers?

...
We need a few sleepers to support a raised bed. They would be
delivered to
the gate and we'd need to move them a few yards, but they always
look so
heavy.
- is moving them a husband-and-wife job, or would more bodies be
necessary?
- does anyone know the approximate weight of a railway sleeper?
Any information/experiences gratefully received.
Experience? ..... Yes, very heavy!!!
If its only a short distance, and no steps or slopes involved, the
Egyptian method works well.
i.e. use rollers.
Thereafter, jack one end up and insert a brick.
Jack t'other end up and insert a brick.
Etc., etc.
Actually, I found the mechanics of the task quite satisfying.
