Dear Kilgraney,
Everywhere I go I see railway sleepers! On my way into Nottingham, Sat morn, I saw some sleeper benches, and immediately thought, 'I wish I had the camera with me'!

The first 3 pictures are Ruddington Country Park. The next picture is Foxton Lock (the crossing timbers are used to separate the grass from the reeds) Finally, Coton Manor Gardens.

I think you're right about railway sleepers being found everywhere (It's not just a figment of your imagination !)
Keep taking the pictures.... It's great to see a wide a selection as possible.
