That's something I didn't know. I thought all sleepers were made of oak.

youngtug,
Thanks for that link, it made interesting reading.
I remember as a boy hopping from sleeper to sleeper along the colliery lines.  Sadly they are no more, cycle tracks and roads now- not that I can hop anymore   :D  :D
