Buying & Selling Real Estate

I am looking at a house with a railroad tie foundation.

The house was built-in 1938 with a railroad tie foundation. What are some of the issues with railroad tie foundations? It's in the high desert with very little rain fall. Also we don't normally get termites here either.
