Description Ties are used in the construction of railway or tramway tracks. There are two main types, wooden and steel. A wood tie is made of small, long pieces of wood or a composite material, and laid side by side. When the rails are laid on the ties, the tie holds the rails in place. A steel tie is made of metal and is used where there are heavy loads, sharp curves, or uneven surfaces.
