Railbeds

Every rail needs some kind of support to keep it upright and to maintain the distance between the rails. This is where the Railbed comes in. Made up of a series of Ties, the Railbed is one of the primary components in every Rail recipe.

In Railcraft, Railbeds come in two varieties: Wood and Stone. Wooden Railbeds are used for standard rails and Wooden Rails and made with Wooden Ties, they are cheaper than Stone but can't handle the higher stresses of High Speed Rails. This is where the Stone Railbeds come in. They are made with Stone Ties and provide the support needed for higher speeds.
