In fact you cannot use 'used' railway sleepers in many situations any
more.

I quoted a job at a retirement home who wanted a raised bed, for the
wheelchair residents, only to find that the sleepers were prhoibited
due to the cancerous and skin buring effect. I had to use new 'old'
effect railway sleepers.

Thank you for the warning. Yours is probably the definitive answer.
