Depends on where youre talking about. Railroad ties vary by local building material availability, with North America using creosoted oak mainly. Also used are concrete and stone. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railroad_tie

In England it's oak, but the trend is towards concrete ones that don't rot so easily.

Henry Ford experimented with concrete railroad ties back in the day when the Ford Motor Company had railroad lines. Concrete wouldn't flex as trains rolled over it, so the ties cracked and broke up.
