Concrete (and steel) ties not only require a new ballast, but also different MoW procedures and equipment as than wood. Plastic ties are supposed to work the same as wood while lasting longer (we will see...). <br /> <br />Regarding steel ties, I found this in a 20-year-old book <br /> "... Steel ties are free from decay and insect attack, but they are subject to rust and wear at the rail seat and in the lug or other fastenings. These become loose, rattle and require frequent bolt tightening and renewal. A major disadvantage is de difficulty in adapting steel ties to bonded territory..." <br />still valid, isn't it?
