Thread-topic: [CBQ] Re: Merry Christmas(an odd request....)
        A little of topic; but; some ties we get are so hard I can't drive a 
spike in all the way with a pneumatic hammer. And these are industrial grade 
ties.

Thanks, Cy and Ken. I had read the Q had planted catalpa on its station grounds 
in part as a potential source of tie wood, but I can't imagine that would have 
been a very practical, large-scale source. Oak would have been my guess - the 
common, standard hard wood historically used for so many things in America: 
school desks and chairs and all sorts of office furniture when I was a kid. 
Laboratory workbenches too - many many everyday things that later were made of 
steel, then aluminum, and finally plastic. The main thing I wondered about w/ 
respect to RR ties was whether oak might be so dense as to make the absorption 
of creosote difficult. 

Thanks again,
Jonathan
