The majority of the Railway network in the UK was initially laid with wooden tracks except for the London Subway (underground tubes) which was initially made of hardwood also known as Jarrahwood, Sleepers are placed perpendicular to the Railway Lines and transfer a load of rail bogies to the sleepers, then to the sub-base foundation.
