I recently stumbled upon this fascinating video on how railroad ties were made during the 1920's. Definitely worth watching the whole way through.
It just baffles me that people in those days were able to do all that hard work on their backs and by hand.

If this is the same video as was posted months past, it is very interesting. Unfortunately when I went to view A message appeared telling me to wait 30 minutes and try again.
But, yes, actually even TODAY every work of any resource ALWAYS comes down to
"A man with a shovel"!!

Actually, it was just a few weeks ago.
