I mentioned this on a forum, hope I'm not repeating myself here. A local construction co gets several loads of rr ties, and uses them to heat their construction shop. They are on the edge of town.

Burning wood creates some creosote, but these days with the fear-factor of the general population, burning wood treated with creosote has to be against several regulations. Storing the old ties is also becoming an epa issue.

It is a dirty, smelly, potentially regulated deal, and just plain messy. I think your dad's place is going to smell horrid, aside from any real or imagined epa type risks. --->Paul
