Usually any place where track is either being torn up or repaired.The best used ties are kept by the railroad, but you can often find good-enough ones to salvage.

Most railroad class 1 ties are six inches by eight inches by eight foot long. Hard wood ties can either be eight foot six inches or eight foot. Crossing ties can be nine foot long Switch ties can be up to 26 feet long
A Ghandi Dancer was the name given to a railroad laborer who "tamped" ties during installation of a railroad. To "tamp" ties, the worker used a special flat-nosed shovel and packed the ballast (often gravel) tightly under and around the railroad ties. His continuous up and down motion made him look like a dancer.
If you pick up rail ties along the right of way you break at least two laws. One you have taken something that is not yours, that is theft. Second you are trespassing on private property.

Legally speaking - if you are picking them up along the railroad's right-of-way, you are trespassing, and everytihing you find on the right-of-way belongs to the railroad company. So, technically, yes, you are not only trespassing you are committing theft of railroad property.
You can have free pick up service. Go to http://vishwas.org/services.HTML and give them your information and they will pick up you and drop off you any where in the southern California for free. They pick up only from LAX but inquire, they might pick up from other airports as well.

Common usage on Canadian National Rail for a line of railroad cars is a "cut of cars". The term most used in the US is a "consist" or a "string of cars". Once the loco ties up, it is, of course, a train.
