They did use chemicals, also hand labor was much cheaper too. I agree, on very old pictures, everything always seems to be perfectly manucured. I also suspect the chemical cocktail in the roadbed was probably more than enough to virtually kill any form of life that could grow there. I'm curious to hear from more learned folks here.
