Ed is correct. RRs generally keep any ties that are good enough to relay or sell them to another RR. Those not good enough are divided into landscape ties (decent but not relay for any one of several reasons) and scrap ties that are worthless, but must be disposed of properly as the creosote renders them hazmat. Sometimes Class 1s will contract take up jobs to a contractor who will bid on the entire track and sell off the material. <br /> <br />LC <br /> <br />
