[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by jeaton The Anti Gates I'm neutral on the question of ties for landscape timbers. However, when my father bought our farm in 1946, we took ties off the abandoned (1943) MILW ROW and spaced them out on the ground that was the floor of the hay shed. The shed and the cow barn are long gone and so are the ties, but I think there was still pieces of tie about the place after 40 years. So the number for the rail and tie salvage place in Gary is 219-882-1414. The sign does say "Ties for Sale". Obviously nothing on price or any minimum quantities. Jay [/quote] Thanks Jay,...As for whether or not they make great landscaping timbers of not, (heh) I guess nobody bothered to ask if *that* was what I had in mind...[%-)][%-)] Maybe I've just decided to take my interest in railroads on a very "warped" tangent, being the obsessive type I am[?] That said,...there is an abandoned stretch of former NYC near town where there hasn't been a train on them for over 20 years, with the ties sitting directly on dirt, and they look pretty solid. Of course, they are far too sun bleached for my purposes... Got a 45 year old telephone pole in the back yard that should be rotting off at the ground by some peoples accounts, too.
