Ken in Buena Vista

Someone just posted a message on the DRGW Yahoo site, that the UP is planning on replacing ties on the Tennessee Pass line (suspecious since they line is not being used). I wonder what condition the one being pulled are in and if they might be of use on the Cumbres and Toltec if reconditioned. Anyone have any ideas? Also, if they are useable, I wonder if there might be some tax break for the Union Pacific to donate them?
