History

A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 321113-07 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

  • The Railroad Ties (Manufacturing) industry has a long history dating back to the early 19th century when wooden ties were first used to support railroad tracks. The first railroad ties were made from hardwood trees such as oak and hickory, which were abundant in the United States. In the late 1800s, the industry saw a shift towards using softwood trees such as pine and fir, which were more readily available and easier to work with. In the early 1900s, the industry saw a significant advancement with the introduction of creosote treatment, which helped to extend the lifespan of the ties. In recent years, the industry has faced challenges due to the decline in demand for wooden ties and the rise of alternative materials such as concrete and composite ties. In the United States, the Railroad Ties (Manufacturing) industry has seen a decline in recent years due to the shift towards alternative materials. However, the industry has also seen some advancements in technology and production methods, such as the use of automation and computer-aided design. In 2019, the industry was valued at $1.2 billion and employed over 3,000 people. Despite the challenges faced by the industry, there is still a demand for wooden ties in certain applications, such as in heritage railways and for use in landscaping and construction projects.
