I am allergic to creosote. I found this out one warm May Saturday in 1977. A buddy and me were in Hagerstown Maryland at the Western Maryland Yard standing next to a pile of fresh new creosoted crossties. We were watching the BL-2/slug drilling cars for about an hour or two. While driving home I noticed that the left side of my face felt sunburned. That is what I thought it was. A few months later I was working with some old utility poles and I developed the same rash on my hands. I went to the doctor the next day and he told me that I had that allergy. That has been a sure way to keep me off of RR property all these years. <br /> <br />Ash
