The use of single and double shoulder tie plates makes the track more stable and greatly extend the life of the wood ties. The tie plate is perforated and cut from the steel cross section of the hot roll, providing appropriate patience for the rail, a uniform bearing surface, and better distributed on the tie. They fix the rail to the size, provide more uniform wear for the rail head, and prevent inappropriate grinding with the tie. The design of the tie plate is a remote or wild end, located outside the rail. Turn on the case of the shoulder and place your shoulders on the field of the plate. The gage end or short end of the plate is located inside the rail.
