They are obviously very old, but how they have lasted over the years is amazing, something funnily enough that you dont think a lot about when you are working on the railway and riding over them every day. But when you come to own a few and look at how solid they are, well you appreciate their strength.

Hi 48111 where can I acquire some "old" sleepers "free" for my allotment I could use about 10. For the compost/manure heaps
I have seen new ones for sale but at £15 each ??????

This may be of interest.
