ABSTRACT:
An elastomeric member is arranged beneath a railroad tie to adjust the modulus of track over a relatively stiff structure such as a bridge or tunnel. Methods or combinations that include an elastomeric member are employed to reduce the modulus of a track over a relatively stiff structure to a magnitude approximating the modulus of track over the terrain surrounding the structure.
