Mmm
I helped a friend move some of these recently and it took 3 of us to lift each one. I'd have said nearer 3 hundredweight (23 stone or thereabouts) each.

Two of us moved a dozen from Immingham traction maintenace depot a couple of years ago, (yes, we did have permission
)
The longest was a turnout (point) timber and weighed almost more than two grown men could lift. I could actually feel my muscles, cracking

Not unliftable but they are "bloody heavy". Used to use them for stacking steel beams on in my last job.
Getting them up and on the artic trailer was the hardest.
Also use them for keeping silage in a "clamp" on our farm, got hundreds of them as they make up tha walls of the silage pit.
