An assembled section of a train rail track structure comprises an electrically isolating cross tie comprising a c-face down open channel defining at least one of a plurality of holes, tabs and notches in a flange at a top thereof and in a plurality of sides thereof proximal to each end of the open channel cross tie. The assembled section also includes an angle plate configured with a horizontal portion and a vertical component to cover an end portion of the c-face down open channel and directly fasten thereto via at least one of a plurality of holes, tabs and notches complementary thereto. The assembled track further includes a first section of electrically isolating cross ties comprising a first warning color closest a rail crossing and a second section of cross ties immediately beyond the first section comprising a second warning color and coordinated flashing and strobing lights attached thereto.

A train rail track structure system includes a c-face down steel channel cross tie defining a plurality of holes in a top wider web surface thereof and a protrusion with perpendicular faces extending from an underside of the top surface, the holes configured to pass a fixative and solidifying mixture into a ballast bed there beneath. The protrusion anchors the steel channel cross tie in the fixative and solidifying mixture and the ballast bed. The disclosed system also includes a c-face down steel channel connecting link defining a receptacle for at least one intermediate rail support member in a top wider web surface thereof. The link also defines tabs and notches proximal to both longitudinal ends of the steel channel connecting link configured to interleave with at least one steel channel cross tie and interlock the steel channel connecting link to the steel channel cross tie.

A system for distributing rail ties along the side of a track from a rail car and consist of the rail cars is disclosed. Each rail car includes a floor conveyor conveying rail ties to a singulating conveyor assembly which advances rail ties individually to a dealer having an indexing mechanism which selectively releases individual rail ties onto a discharge chute. The discharge chute is oriented so ties dropped on the discharge chute are discharged out a selected side of the rail car. A controller on each rail tie distribution car communicates with a computing resource which implements a plan for selectively discharging ties from cars selected by the computing resource to discharge ties at selected drop off locations.
