Based on my experience at Norfolk Southern, there are very demanding environmental regulations governing the disposal of creosoted ties. <br /> <br />Concrete vs wood is a long standing argument and some railroads, notably NS, does not use concrete ties, though they have been tested. Of course, FEC, BNSF and UP have embared concrete for high density lines. There is no right answer, a lot depends of price and availablity of wood ties, maintenance strategies, etc. <br /> <br />Rather like the discussions about AC vs DC power.
