Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the effects of different factors on the lifespan and durability of railroad cross-ties in various climates and track conditions. The author conducted a series of experiments on Douglas fir, western hemlock, western tamarack, and giant arborvitae timbers from 1903 to 1905 to assess how seasoning time, peeling, and the use of tie plates and rail fastenings impact tie life. The findings provide valuable insights into the factors that contribute to timber decay and mechanical abrasion, helping to prolong the service life of cross-ties and optimize maintenance practices in railway systems.
