For example, oak and pine are commonly used wood species for railroad ties. Oak is known for its durability and strength, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications. On the other hand, pine is more affordable and widely available, making it a popular choice for lighter loads. Historically wooden rail ties were made by hewing with an axe, called axe ties, or sawn to achieve at least two flat sides. Additionally, some manufacturers utilize pressure treatment processes to enhance the durability and longevity of the ties. This involves injecting preservatives into the wood under high pressure, which not only protects against decay and insect infestation but also helps maintain the dimensions over time. Most European railways also now use concrete bearers in switches and crossing layouts due to the longer life and lower cost of concrete bearers compared to timber, which is increasingly difficult and expensive to source in sufficient quantities and quality.

The crosstie spacing of mainline railroad is approximately 19 to 19.5 inches (48 to 50cm) for wood ties or 24 inches (61cm) for concrete ties. The number of ties is 3,250 wooden crossties per mile (2,019 ties/km, or 40 ties per 65 feet) for wood ties or 2,640 ties per mile for concrete ties.
