Default Treating Railway Sleepers

Hi,

What is the best thing to preserve UK railway sleepers (I'm not sure of the
wood), the sleepers in question will be sunk in to the ground and others
used as soil retainers.

Is it as simple as putting creosote on and maybe using some sort of vapour
barrier between the soil and sleeper?

Many thanks in advance,

Mark.
