but it would depend on the line in question!
are most railroad ties wood or concrete or something more long-lasting? because I always was mystified by the use of wood for the ties because of, I would think, how easily it can rot and decompose
usually wood (pretty much always wood on old lines), treated with creosote for waterproofing and preservation
interesting. is this the same overseas as well? i reckon it has worked pretty dang well for many years so that makes sense
I think so yeah; new lines use other materials like concrete but the default is treated wood
