May just lay cross ties down and see how it does

That won't work.

Focus on your approaches first. The bottom of that creek has a lot of gravel. It will be fine.

For the approaches, back way off. Work the banks to a long, low angle slope. Lay down clay gravel. Then hammer home some grey rock. Big stuff. The size of your fist. Work it in with a dozer. Hammer it down until it sets up.

The banks are 90% of the battle. The bottoms and the lips can just be back dragged with a tractor bucket every so often.
