ABSTRACT:
A universal railroad tie cover of a substantially rectangular configuration is provided which is composed of an elastomer material having one or more openings for receiving one or more elastomer pads for increasing the resiliency of rail fastening systems in railroad track beds with and without ballast to prolong the service life of timber and concrete railroad ties. The universal railroad tie cover has a center section with at least one opening and two side portions for receiving interchangeable specially designed pads some of which may be designed for a particular system and/or for wood or concrete ties to prolong operational life by increasing the resiliency of the rail fastening system. The universal railroad tie cover and particular pads are designed to be manufactured and shipped in a flat configuration which can be cut and installed as a three dimensional cover at the work site to accommodate varying lengths of timber and concrete ties as may be required in special track work.
