Railway Tie Association

The Railway Tie Association was organized in 1919 as The National Association of Railroad Tie Producers, which grew out of predecessor groups dating back to the late 1800's. The name was changed to The Railway Tie Association in 1932.

The purpose of the Association is to promote the economical and environmentally sound use of wood crossties. The Association is involved in research into crosstie design, and ongoing activities dealing with sound forest management, conservation of timber resources, timber processing, wood preservation and safety of industry workers.
