Concrete Ties Prove a Failure and Trees as Ties
Concrete ties proved unsuitable as trains’ vibrations caused failure, forcing railroads to revert to wooden ties. With timber scarce, lines such as Rock Island and Burlington plant catalza trees along rights of way, hoping rapid sprout growth and soil benefits will supply future ties and improve arid-region conditions. Also, Rock Island officials tighten train order signing and reading rules, enforcing personal signatures and mandatory conductor readbacks under threat of dismissal.
