Creosote is forced into the wood fibers with high heat and high presure.   If 
you can ever get on a tour of a modern tie plant (like Webster near La Crosse, 
WI).   Also the test sitr near Purble, CO had a display of the various tie 
materials and designs, very interesting.

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
