I used to walk them for hours on end.

If you walked them, you probably also ran them. Since crossties are not evenly spaced (just sorta even), running the rails is something of a challenge. Kinda like hand-eye coordination in some sports, this foot-eye coordination came in handy later when doing a rapid, rock hopping descent off a mountainside.
