KEN PATRICK wrote:'pulling out rotten ties'. where did these go? tossed aside on the row? ken patrickIf you followed the previous renevation efforts you will find that unlike many Railroads the G&U actually picked up the old ties along the ROW. They picked them up after they were able to run trains over the tracks and loaded them into hopper cars.
