We used to creosote our garden fence every so often until the sale of creosote was banned. It's a dark brown colour, and has a very distinctive smell (which is actually rather pleasant outdoors - probably highly dangerous without that ventilation). It used to do wonders for getting rid of weeds growing along the bottom of said fence too - the inevitable splashes would kill them off. Bear in mind that a creosoted fence will look different to rail ties or telegraph poles - the latter two are pressure treated in a big vat (rather like a locomotive boiler in design - our local timber yard does this "to order" using whatever the creosote replacement is). Fences are usually treated with a brush or sprayer, so they tend to be a lighter colour than pressure treated items. Hope this is of use!
