… Has nothing to do with this topic… it is more about wood…
Women…wood. close enough
Hot wood [:D]
My question is, what process do ties go through before they are laid beneath the tracks,
OK D’uh they come from Tree- so does george of Jungle
I mean after that, silly-
What happens?
Along comes a lumberjack, he’s OK.
He sleeps all night and he works all day…
He cuts down trees, he eats his lunch, he goes to the lavatry
On Wednesday he goes shopping, and has buttered scones for tea!!!
That song has been running through my head all day!!! Glad to find another Monty Python fan out there I thought it was just us theatre geeks that liked MP!!
Wa’al, after them xties get hewn outa them logs, they gits took to the treatin’ plant where they is put through this long pressure dealie where they gits filled up fulla creosote, or some such stinking black stuff like that.
Then they is ready to be put in the track. But they come in all sorts of legnths fer swicthes and crossins and stuff like that. They all ain’t the same legnth. And then ya gotcha big ol’ bridge ties, ‘n’ the big ol’ bridge timbers what hold them up. But they all goes tru that big pressure dealie so’s they get creosoted.
Unnerstan?

Show me a hot woman, and I’ll show you some wood!!!
He cuts down trees, he skips and jumps,
he likes to press wild flowers.
He puts on women’s clothing, and hangs around in bars???
And now for something completely different…
The Lumberjack song can be found right in between the Dead Parrot Sketch and the Dirty Fork.[swg]

Pamela Anderson on a SD70MAC rules more.
First, bad kevin for luring me into this topic under false ideas. You should be tried by the courts for this offence. But they may be busy, so we might need to use the Spanish inquision
Second, Nobody expects the Spanish inquision!

Crossties are generally hardwood, often oak harvested by loggers and unsuitable for higher uses (such as structural lumber, plywood, etc).
They are brokered to a tie plant which treats the ties in creosote or whatever that new environmentally friendly stuff is and then predrilled and plated if ordered that way. They are sold to RRs by the tie plant and installed in the track by the railroad or a contractor employed by the railrload.
The most common sizes are 7"x9" grade ties and 6"x8" grade ties. Most ties are a minimum of 8’ in length with switch ties and other specialized ties being longer. MC, you out there?

All I know is that they soak em’ in creosote, which is the most distinctive smell of railroading…except journal grease!!! [:D]
