I'd forgetten that! ...and they tell us it again every 2 years when we re-certify for Personal Track Safety (PTS). <br />Yes treading on a rotten tie is pretty disastrous although (over here) we usually only find really bad ones in sidings. I'm sure you'll know that even a good tie is pretty lethal if it's icey or wet with anything (grease or green stuff - under trees- )... anyone wants to get for ultra fine detail I've left a few skid marks along such ties (and clouds of blue air). Trouble is, sometimes the ballast is worse! (See the pic I've posted in Old Diesels and New Ballast). <br />To correctly model track men walking along the formation you'd often have to have them looking at everything they're treading on.
