They are gauge-convertible by cutting and welding the steel bar to the dimension that suits the new gauge.

Aside from the environmental benefits of using recycled material, plastic ties usually replace timber ties soaked in creosote, the latter being a toxic chemical, [14] and are theoretically recyclable. [11] However, plastics may shed microplastics and leach other possibly toxic chemicals such as ultraviolet inhibitors. London to Reading, Newbury, Didcot Parkway, Swindon and Oxford (summary of fast trains) (PDF, 749 KB) For example, oak and pine are commonly used wood species for railroad ties. Oak is known for its durability and strength, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications. On the other hand, pine is more affordable and widely available, making it a popular choice for lighter loads. Wide sleepers: so far, so good!". railone.com.

This could be used to shape, and direct discussions as new information develops and understanding improves. Reading and Didcot Parkway to Oxford and Banbury (stopping services) (The Oxford Canal line) (PDF, 911 KB) Historically, steel ties have suffered from poor design and increased traffic loads over their normally long service life. These aged and often obsolete designs limited load and speed capacity but can still be found in many locations globally and performing adequately despite decades of service. There are great numbers of steel ties with over 50 years of service and in some cases they can and have been rehabilitated and continue to perform well. Steel ties were also used in specialty situations, such as the Hejaz Railway in the Arabian Peninsula where the dry, hot climate made wood ties unsatisfactory. [9] Sleepers are 8ft 6in (2.59m) long, 10 inches (254mm) wide and 5 inches (127mm) deep. The two sleepers adjacent to a joint may be 12 inches (305mm) wide where the formation is soft or the traffic is heavy and fast. Sleepers are mostly spaced 2ft 7in (0.79m) apart (centre-to-centre) but are closer adjacent to fishplated rail joints where the spacing sequences are as follows with the spacing at the fishplate highlighted.Additionally, some manufacturers utilize pressure treatment processes to enhance the durability and longevity of the ties. This involves injecting preservatives into the wood under high pressure, which not only protects against decay and insect infestation but also helps maintain the dimensions over time. The manufacturing processes employed in the production of railroad ties also have a significant influence on their dimensions. Different techniques and machinery can result in variations in size and shape. Schut, Jan H. (2004). "They've Been Working on the Railroad". Plastics Technology.

Rails in the US may be fastened to the tie by a railroad spike; iron/steel baseplates screwed to the tie and secured to the rail by a proprietary fastening system such as a Vossloh or Pandrol which are commonly used in Europe.

In Europe, the standards for railroad tie dimensions may vary slightly from country to country. However, there are general guidelines that ensure consistency and compatibility within the European railway network. European railroad ties are typically longer than their North American counterparts, with a standard length ranging from 8 to 9 feet. This additional length allows for greater stability and load-bearing capacity, especially on high-speed rail lines.

It is possible to develop a bow tie following an incident or accident, to understand what actually happened, why things went wrong, and where there might be weaknesses in the safety management or set of controls that we can learn from. When connected to the rodding, moving them to one side or the other relaxes the flexing in one blade, while increasing the flexing in the other. So the forces needed are cancelled out, and they can be moved across easily. This is what is meant by springing the blades against each other.
