History

A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 444240-17 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

  • The use of railroad ties dates back to the early 19th century when the first railroads were built in the United States. The wooden ties were used to support the rails and keep them in place. As the railroads expanded, so did the demand for railroad ties. In the early 20th century, concrete and steel ties were introduced, but wooden ties remained the most popular choice due to their low cost and ease of installation. In recent years, the use of railroad ties has expanded beyond their original purpose, and they are now commonly used in landscaping and construction projects. In the United States, the industry has faced challenges due to environmental concerns over the use of treated wood ties, which contain chemicals that can leach into the soil. As a result, there has been a shift towards the use of alternative materials such as concrete and composite ties.
