Extensive research was conducted on two principal causes for wood cross tie replacement, abrasion from tie plates, and tie splitting; repeated laboratory loading tests correlated with service texts in track have shown that tie abrasion can be reduced 50% with tie plate fastenings and almost eliminated with tie pads; research has shown that dowels are effective means of controlling tie splitting; " proving ground" project for protection of wood against termite attack has indicated most effective treatments; work was done leading to performance acceptance test for freight car flooring.
