Wondering if folk in the preserved railway world have any good alternatives to dousing the trackbed with weedkiller to keep vegetation down.
I'm asking as a committee member an association which runs a velorail (cycling trucks) line in Normandy with the odd railcar special train. The line runs close to a river for much of its length and it seems that chucking Agent Orange ( glycophosphate) type herbicide at it isn't the best thing to do. We've heard of lines using hot steam from steam engines but don't have a steam engine ourselves.
Any suggestions?
