- W579458385 abstract "This article describes the new choices available to replace wooden ties in railroad tracks. Beginning in 1832 a shortage of cut stone led to the so-called temporary use of wooden ties--which proved to be cheaper and easier to install than cut stone. Today 95 percent of railroad ties are made of various types of wood ties, although some environmental concerns about creosote, which is used to protect ties from insect and moisture damage, may make alternatives more popular. Concrete ties are popular in Europe, and steel ties have a small following. The newest products used to manufacture railroad ties, however, are recycled plastic bags and scrap tires. These plastic ties need no preservative treatment and are said to last up to 50 years." @default.
