where can one buy new or used railroad ties
As Bryan pointed out, railroad ties are a big no-no because of the creosote;
I thought I recently read that they are no longer available because of the
ecological damage potential.
I'll mention another drawback, based on my experience with the ones I have
(here when we bought the house): they deteriorate from freezing & thawing
(at least, I assume that's why). I'm having particular problems with some
that were used to create steps, one of which is now an "ankle-breaker"
(fortunately, we don't use those steps), and I'm going to remove them as
soon as I can convince my hubby to help me.
Does anyone have any disposal suggestions for the ties? I assume that
burning them is out of the question due to the toxic stuff that would
generate, and I can't imagine that the tree debris landfill near me would
take them.
