The disposal of railway cross ties (an internal report) / by W.H. Sullivan.: CW66-1574/1985E-PDF
"Regional office personnel were concerned that the open burning of railway ties, particularly those treated with pentachlorophenol could result in unacceptable atmospheric emissions, possible emissions of polycyclic organic matter CPOM) was of particular concern. Upon investigation it became evident that this concern was not limited to one region; that it had nationwide implications. The purpose of this report is to support the Regions in their dealings with the railways, the provincial governments, and miscellaneous groups, by providing background information. In addition to the pentachlorophenol treated ties it became evident that creosote treated ties were also of concern. Initially, adequate data did not surface. Consequently it became necessary to generate data internally; two railway tie burning experiments were conducted, one for pentachlorophenol and one for creosote treated ties"--Introduction, page 3.
