I have noticed this type of video (screen rerecording) popping up a lot here. Is this a way to counter the Google ContentID thingee? This is a serious question, actually, so if anyone knows about this, please let me know. Thanks!
Plastic ties! Come one! Thats the lamest idea ive ever heard! Whats become of railroads these das? Are they so darn cheap that they want to end up losing more money in the end?
@Kleman09 It's actually quite a good idea! These ties are supposedly cheaper and last much longer than the standard wood ties, so it should cost the railways less overall.
plastic ties dont work that great. I when I go down to florida and volinteer at the museum I got the chance to replace a tie with a Plastic one. It broke in less than a day . Nice video!
I have done some research on this company and they have over 1 million ties in use for the past 14 years, and ties exceed the life of wood especially in wet areas. Must be doing something right!
I believe the company was called Tietek, and they were out of Texas. The company had all sorts of problems with money, and a couple of huge EEO complaints which they lost. Anyway TieTek went bankrupt in the summer.
they need to pressure test it on the ends where the wheels will run. not the center. that's why you concentrate tamping tward the ends.

I think its a good idea. Plastic doesnt rot so they will last longer and if they are made on recycled plastic, then even better.

If we can get rid of toms of plastic waste without using up other valuable resources, I'm all for it.
