The Railway Tie Association was organized in 1919. Predecessor groups, dating back to the late 1800s, including The National Association of Railroad Tie Producers, supported the railroad tie industry and worked to preserve forests through conservation. Its purpose: to keep the wood tie market strong and sustainable. To do this, RTA advocates for and conducts activities including:
• Research in all aspects of the crosstie industry
• Sound forest management
• Timber resource conservation
• Timber processing
• Wood preservation
• Industry safety
• Sustainability
• Tie Recycling
The RTA’s 105th annual symposium and technical conference will take place in Atlanta from Oct. 16-Oct. 19. Stay tuned for more details.
