An oil-immersed sleeper was lying on the line, black in color, looking nothing strange. Many people think it is wood soaked with oil, and the process is simple. I know it after a round in the workshop, from logs to sleepers that can go on the track, there must be several passes in the middle. The se...

When a freight train comes, dozens of tons of weight will fall on the rail first and then be transmitted down. You sit in the car and look out of the window, mostly just at the two bright rails, rarely looking down. In fact, how this force is finally dispersed depends on what is padded under the rai...

Sleeper changing is totally two concepts: working on open subgrade and working in tunnel.Nothing on the subgrade. When the machinery is driven to the front, a clamp will be used to pull out the old sleeper and insert the new one. The tamping machine will walk after it. It can push out hundreds of me...

I talked with a couple of old road maintenance workers and asked them what kind of sleeper they felt most relieved after working for so many years. The answer is the same: corrosion resistant wooden sleeper.No high-tech, no fancy, just an oil-soaked pine. But it's really down to earth.Pine wood...

People who are engaged in railway maintenance are somewhat ill at work - they want to touch wood and kick stones. I have no idea. I have to deal with sleepers and ballasts every day.

Many people think that wooden sleepers, like BPM and Xiao, belong to obsolete antiques and should have been put into the museum.At the sound of high-speed railway, after all, all the images in our mind are concrete sleepers, ballastless tracks and silvery white bullets. Wood Sleepers? It sounds like...

It's autumn. Wooden doors and floors in your house have been a little bit noisy recently – the doors creak and the floor seams seem a little wider than in the summer. The old people call it "autumn dryness". As soon as the air dries, the wood itself emits water and shrinks.Ordinary wo...

The rain in the south is very strange. In low-lying sections along the railway, the ponding can reach the ankles. Some netizens shot a video and asked: Will the sleeper be soaked in muddy water, and the black wood will not be broken? The railway transportation is afraid that the line will be softene...

When it comes to sleepers on the railway, the first reaction of many people is: this is not the wood padded under the rail. What is the talk?You're not talking, it's worth talking. Especially when the main character is anti-corrosion sleepers - it does more work on the railway than you imagi...

Last year (2025) was the 200th anniversary of the world railway. When the steam railway in England was open to traffic in 1825, the sleepers took up their posts with the rails. For two hundred years, cement, steel and plastics have taken over the land under the rail. Today, you can see the ordinary...

People who do the work know that responsibility comes with the mobilization of materials. From the second you sign in, the quality account of this batch of sleepers is on your head.So I can't fool about accepting this. Especially the corrosion resistant sleepers - they were laid on the railway,...
