What are railroad ties
Railroad ties, also known as sleepers, are essential components in railway infrastructure. Typically made of wood, these rectangular support beams lie horizontally under the railway tracks, providing a stable foundation for the rails. They help distribute the load of trains, ensuring proper alignment and gauge, and contribute to the overall stability and safety of the railway system.
