ABSTRACT:
A rail tie has a pair of rail supporting portions disposed on opposite sides of a central portion. The central portion is elevated relative to the central portion and supports a reaction rail of a linear induction motor used to propel a vehicle along the guideway. The reaction rail is secured to flanges extending laterally from the central portion to reduce the unsupported span of the reaction rail between ties. The tie is supported on the deck of the guideway by resilient pads. An eccentric insert cooperates with a securing stud to allow alignment of the tie.
