Default Free railroad ties?

Howdy folks,

On my way home yesterday I happened to drive down East 5th street between
Comal and Chicon (in front of Cafe Mundi). Workers have removed the
railroad tracks and have stacked up the ties in piles.

I don't know what their intent is, but if they're fixin' to landfill them
you might be able to grab a few before they haul them off.

Some when in my past I heard the ties are sold off to folks like
Whittlesey. It might be considered theft to help yourself. Checking with
the railroad could be a good idea.
