Lynn, would you like that slightly salted? No, I did not think so. I prefer Kerry Gold. A slippery slope, derailing my thread . . .

As Robert mentioned, running on salted road surfaces is tough on the track. Getting the road salt spray on the carrier when trailering is painful too!

Richard, You currently have more butter than tracks?
Our export bulk butter is un salted, but the usual local consumption is predominantly sold salted, Our roads are not salted. We save it for chips and peanuts.
Another one (thread) bites the dust!

I found sections of new track a bunch of years back. They were treated with black cosmoline. As with oil, it would likely attract sand, however, would eventually wear off. I would suggest it would be the repeated oiling that would really cause problems as opposed to a one off.
