note thats what said about so much, global warming hazardous products,
heck even smoking, and most recently secondhand smoke..........

I seriously doubt RR ties still use creosote, and the new power pole
just installed doesnt have the tell tail creosote appearance either

NO, nothing is treated with creosote any more.

Creosote is still legal and widely available in Australia (and
my State of WA). See

Thanks. I checked your cites and found the discussions interesting in
that they support my position that the 'danger' of it is marginal at
best.

I could not find anything in any of the four cites that discuss the
legality of use. Could you point it out? I am hoping you are right
but the "in the state of WA" doesn't sound right as the ban was a
federal, not state law and thus WA should be included.
I didn't dig into any of the 'side' links on those pages so it may
have been in their someplace.
