Amtrak,MN,UP,and some Light Rail systems,have had some Real BAD batches of Concrete ties,
creating major problems to the point of needing to replace defective ties ASAP.
The former B&O/SP,now UP line in Il was one of the most recent Amtrak used routes to
require total replacement of ALL Concrete Ties due to manufacturer's defect.
MN has had bad luck in the Bronx on the Harlem line between MO and Woodlawn due to roadbed issues,
and water drain off.
