TIE PLATES. To prolong the life of the cross-tie by prevent-ing the rail from cutting into the tie, tie plateshave been introduced. There are three generalstyles, based on the following principles: First,ribs are placed on the under side of the tie platerunning in the direction of the length of theplate, these are driven into the tie and separate,but do not break up the fiber of the wood; withthis style of tie plate the greatest resistance tothe movement of the plate is in the direction ofacross the tie or in the length of the rail; thespikes on both sides of the rail being connectedby the tie plate, both resist
