The neighbors are burning railroad ties

[the GOAT]

They could have gave us a variance to keep it temporary or something, but no it had to go. They even whined that we had power and 2 irrigation wells drilled. But that was legal.. so they can kiss my ass

So basically you want to do whatever you feel like. And when your neighbor does the same you come online to bitch?

 

[Idahonative]

so WTF do you care???

well maybe you should have known the ordinances BEFORE you built it...if it was built BEFORE the ordinance was put in place you wouldn't have to move it... your own damn fault

Aren't you and Ironworker tired of getting threads deleted?

...just tryin to play catch-up. What happened to Ironworkers little thread about the 'hijacked' cross-ties? Saw it first thing this morning. First time on the forum this evening, seems it was a little short lived.

I was wondering the same thing.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Nathon and/or Ironworker was spewing garbage again and got the thread deleted. Little entitlement pansies can't handle anyone saying a cross word to them. Hey mods, we don't need a "like" or "dislike" button. We need a "douche your mouth" button for babies like Nathon and Ironworker that don't have the maturity to have grown up conversations.

Spoiler: click here to see what I think of your post

I've made my own dislike button...awesome!!!

really sad,

 

[Whitespider]

Grown up conversations?? Ya' mean like this thread??

We have nineteen pages of guys sayin' that burning (coal-tar) creosote creates smoke loaded with all sorts of nasty "toxins" not found in smoke from "clean" wood... yet not a single one of those "toxins" can be named. If ya' do ask what "toxins", the answer is... "well, the EPA (or some-such) says they do."
What's funny is I can't find where the EPA specifically says any such thing... so how do you have a grown-up conversation with someone who just repeats (without verifying, yet presenting, as fact) what they've heard, been told, or simply wanna' "believe"?? That ain't bein' "grown-up", that's what schoolboys do...
Nuh-uh, my teacher say... Nuh-uh, my dad says...
Grown-ups think for themselves and verify before presenting as fact... grown-ups don't act like parrots repeating words they've heard.

We have nineteen pages of guys sayin' that burning (coal-tar) creosote creates smoke loaded with all sorts of "carcinogens" not found in smoke from "clean" wood... yet not a single one of those "carcinogens" can be named.

We have nineteen pages of guys callin' this OWB owner nearly every low-life name ever invented... but not one of these name-callers has so much as even laid eyes on the guy. They look at a few pictures from the OP and jump right on the band wagon chiming what a planet-wreckin' slob this guy is...

Yeah... grown up conversations... give me a friggin' break‼

OK somebody enlighten me here. People have mentioned telephone poles. I thought just the bottome 6 feet or so was all that was treated. Apparently not????

 

[Whitespider]

...telephone poles. I thought just the bottome 6 feet or so was all that was treated.

Depends... I've seen, and set, "poles" (not necessarily "telephone") that were creosote treated on just the bottom and some treated full length.

[066blaster]

My neighbors has some pretty juicy telephone poles. I guess the creosote drains or melts to the bottom of the poles over time.

 

[the GOAT]

So which has a higher btu content. RR ties or telephone poles?

'Round here railroad ties are near all oak (mostly White or Bur)... near all "poles" are pine or fir.

You know, after handleing cross ties for 39+years, I dont need the epa to tell me that creosote can cause 2nd and 3rd degree burns on skin if left untreated. I dont know whats in creosote, but if it will take the skin off, I dont think its to much of a leap to think that breathing it would destroy your lungs. Another thing I know is the railroad doesnt give ties away because of the potential for pollution and contaminating ground water. Never have really understood the difference between contaminating the ground around someones flower garden and having miles of ties crisscrossing the entire country. I think it has more to do with some homeowner filing lawsuits and trying to hold the railroads liable for their own stupidity.

When the railroads replace cross ties, the old ties are sorted thru and anything that is reusable is taken to some gut line or yard track and re-installed. The broken and rotten ties are now sold to electric utilities to be mixed with coal and burnt to produce power. Sometimes the ties are left in stacks for long periods of time before they are reused or sold. This is usually where people steal the ties thinking they are just junk and the railroads wont care and probably wants someone to haul them off. I know of several instances where the people hauling off those old ties have had to return them and sometimes even had to pay for them to keep from being arrested. I know of one time when the railroad hired helicopters to fly over the country side looking for their ties. The railroad does have contracts with companies to buy the old ties and remove them, these are the ties you find at the home and garden centers. One thing to remember, if you have a buddy that works for the railroad and he is offering to get you some used ties, he is more than likely stealing the ties, the railroad wont give them to him. None of the folks at the local level has the authority to give or sell a used cross tie. If you buy ties from the railroad, you have to go thru their asset re-allocation center, not the local trackman or his supervisor.

How could this possibly be ok. Someone should call the EPA.
