I don't want to know what they pour on railroad lines to keep the weeds from growing. I've seen them using burning petrolium (smelled like kerosene) down the Mo-Pac line in Austin. Is that what they use everywhere? Someone was/is a railroad tycoon/engineer/conductor here on texascavers (Gill Ediger I think it was). Maybe they can comment. I suppose the worst of it has become chemically inert over the years. Those spikes are bound to be safe by now? (I wouldn't lick them..well maybe for a small wager.)

Ron asked, perhaps with drawbar in cheek, "What am I supposed to do now, bury some old tractor parts?" Well, what I did was to pick up discarded railroad spikes along the railroad roadbed and plant one with each shrub that needed more iron. I don't remember which they were, but it worked well, as I recall.
