Ineffective Status Quo
25 million railroad ties are replaced each year in North America by harvesting hardwood trees and soaking in poisonous creosote and borate.
The Solution
Evertrak 7000
As strong as wood, consistently manufactured, and delivering value for the engineered performance. Every tie, every time.
The Future
Business Model Innovations
New approaches to drive speed and confidence into capital decision-making, for both long AND short term capital decisions.
Solving a Problem That Runs 140,000 Miles Long
While we’ve advanced from paper to aluminum to carbon fiber in airplanes, we still make railroad ties by chopping down trees – little real innovation since the 1800s
1800s Tech Still at Work Today
Change the status quo
25-million railroad ties are replaced each year in North America. Hardwood ties are failing in track at less than their economic life due to weather, wear, and insect infestation.
Poor and Unproven Substitutes
Past Attempts at Innovation
In the past, poor engineering, inconsistent feedstocks and manufacturing quality resulted in failure modes that could not be controlled. Industry lost faith in finding an alternative to wood…until now. A true composite that is beyond wood.
Capital Contraints
A New Cost Model is Needed
Long-term costs savings cannot be captured through increase in short-term investment. Future Total Cost of Ownership (TCOO) requires new modes of long-term, performance-based financing
Disruption was inevitable, and it has arrived

Performance
Evertrak 7000 is the first composite tie for North American heavy haul and transit railroads made with glass fiber reinforced 100% recycled polyolefin plastic. Made to perform for decades of rail traffic in any environmental condition, Evertrak 7000 changes the paradigm for capital renewal of track by eliminating tie cycles. Evertrak 7000 is available now in lengths from 8’6” to 10′.
