 railroad ties

I tried using untreated ties, called cull ties because they were rejected by the RR prior to treating for some flaw. They were mostly red oak, some white oak. I soaked each of 55 in a copper-based preservative solution. It may have slowed down the decay process by a few years, but now after 10 years, I had to tear up what was left of them.
A contractor used creosoted timbers from a dismantled railway bridge for a retaining wall on my driveway 15 years ago. It looks like it will last for 50 years.
