Besides, Fire Ants love Creosote. I told the section on the KYLE RR there was a problem with one of their wood trestles. When they finally took the stringer out between two bents they set it on the ground and it split apart! The section boys started running! The middle had been eaten out and nested in by the Fire Ants and they were MAD! I have to hand it to the section though, the RR was running in 24 hours. JP
