Geocache Description:


THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES

 

A railroad tie is a rectangular support for the rails in railroad tracks.

Railroad road ties are traditionally made of wood, typically from Oak.

 

Generally laid perpendicular to the rails, ties transfer loads

to the track ballast and subgrade, hold the rails upright and

keep them spaced to the correct gauge.

 

Approximately 3,520 wooden crossties are used per mile of track.

Distance between ties is nominally 18 inches including one tie and the crib.
