A month or more ago, the utility company hired a tree service to knock down trees. They cut alongside a park down the road, and last week I went to the city to see what the deal was with the wood there. They said if it was city property, they would have cleaned up the wood. So it may be railroad right away (doubtful as it's about 65 feet up hill from the tracks) according to them. They said if the tree service didn't want the wood (they don't) I could take whatever I want.
Totally not expecting that!
5 pickup loads in about an hour and a half
I'm not so much with tree ID, but I believe most of what was brought home was elm. Also a couple 4' ash logs. Most of that was already taken. Also some large fruitwood of some sort - possibly apple.
I'm curious about this:
There is a lot of it still standing along the tracks, and a fair amount down. It's a pretty deeply ridged bark, with a slightly yellowish wood. It seems pretty weighty so I' hoping for hardwood.
