	Railroad tie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A railroad tie, cross tie, or sleeper is a rectangular object used as a base for railroad tracks.
		Failure of a single tie is generally insignificant to the usability and safety of the rails.
		A datenail was implemented and coded by the railroads to identify the age of the railroad tie (that was usually laid down in sections) by hammering it into the railroad tie after installation for maintenance purposes.

	Sleepers Through Time
		As railroads were pushing westward in the 1800s, a continuous supply of ties was needed to not only maintain track, but to pioneer the routes across the prairie.
		Tie hewers depended on specialized tools for their work, including a two man crosscut saw called Old Gappy, a double-bit axe, a broad axe, a measuring device called a tie scantling, a mule for skidding logs and a small quantity of coal oil for removing resin and gums from the saw blade.
		On the tie scantling, workers cut axe handle grooves for gauging the 6- by 8-inch and 7- by 9-inch dimensions of the two sizes of ties that were hewed.

	Dropped railroad tie for railway without ballast - Patent 4381076
		The present invention relates to a steel-concrete railroad tie construction in which the rails are supported on ties in the form of blocks of reinforced concrete possibly connected in pairs of cross-ties including a metal truss having its ends sealed in said ties.
		In the invention, the upper surface of the tie includes a metal saddle for supporting and attaching the rail by means of an upper tie-plate which extends downwards in ribs which are sealed in the concrete of the tie, forming a truss.
		More generally, therefore, the reinforced concrete, dropped railroad tie according to the invention consists essentially of a metallic saddle, of which an upper tie-plate receives the rail foot and attachment and extends downwards in ribs sealed within the concrete of the tie, forming a reinforcement.

	Road transportable segmental concrete railroad tie long-line production system - Patent 6059199
		A road transportable, segmental concrete railroad tie mold support and wire tensioning structure is generally illustrated by the reference numeral 10 in the accompanying drawings.
		It is typical that numerous gang tie molds M are positioned along the permanent stressing frame F and are joined end to end with mold cavities C aligned to receive multiple lengths of prestressed wire that are strained over the fill length of the stressing frame.
		The weight of the tie forms, poured concrete and attendant equipment is thus born by central portions of the crossframe members and the footings 53.

	Railroad Tie Collection as Fuel Source for Electricity - WDNR
		After removal, the used railroad ties are shipped to a processor that chips the ties, removes all metal and debris and sells the chipped ties to a power generating facility as a recycled fuel source.

		The Union Pacific Railroad began its westward expansion in 1865, and they constructed a plant at Omaha which began operating that year treating ties with zinc chloride.
		Constuction of such a long railroad required more ties than the plant could handle, and what ties managed to fit the equipment were treated with too strong a solution, resulting in brittle ties.
		"Early tie treatment: When the UP first built their line in the 1860s, they handcut the ties, and used the burnetizing process to help preserve at least some of the ties (cottonwood is soft!) with zinc chloride.
