Today I saw discarded railroad ties on either side of the tracks (they must've replaced some of them) and two dead crows at the base of a telephone pole nearby. I was running home from a LunaChix run, and the whole area near the tracks had that distinctive creosote smell. I thought about dragging some ties home, but I've heard scary stories about using them for garden bed frames because of the chemicals they leach.
