  • @RayPRA yeah they used to

  • although technically Amtrak doesnt lay tracks anymore. they are prefabricated sections that are installed on the track bed and welded in place

  • @JBofBrisbane yes how ever there now replacing all of them due to well craking and such

  • @JBofBrisbane But the Northeast Corridor which is this is one of only 3 lines in America to use concrete

  • @rhblakeman - Yes, sleepers (or ties if you prefer) come in prestressed concrete and steel now. In certain applications they last much longer than timber, and can even be re-used. Impervious to termites, too.

  • Are those some sort of precast concrete ties?

  • @lukebccb And allow dozens of American's to lose their jobs/homes/etc? Pass.

  • @RayPRA same here

  • so this is how they build it, i used to think they put one by one and then put the little rocks.
