thats why my arms are knacked now allways gave the apprentice to do it had muscles like popeye onceForstner bit is the only doable modern option. You will struggle to find one with a long enough shank though.
With a bit this size, a normal drill will be bu**ered in short order though.
You say "new sleepers", so does this mean large bits of tanalised softwood, or proper hardwood sleepers, which will be tar impregnated ?
What you really need is a good old fashioned wood auger with a tee handle, which they used to make old timber framed buildings, or failing that a Brace, with a square shank bit
