Right, contorTrix.  I shoulda put on my speck ticles.  Timber  rattlers ?  
I suspect there are a few. Rattlers are noted to nest in stacks  of cross 
ties.
A long deceased trainmaster I knew was helping a crew change out  a
busted air hose.  After the new air hose was in place, he reached  down
to pick up the old air hose and got nailed by what he described as a
"puffing adder".  He never went for medical attention and probably  didn't
turn in a personal injury report.   Maybe he took a martyr  pill.
