OCLC 1565511. {{ cite journal}}: Missing or empty |title= ( help)When connected to the rodding, moving them to one side or the other relaxes the flexing in one blade, while increasing the flexing in the other. So the forces needed are cancelled out, and they can be moved across easily. This is what is meant by springing the blades against each other. The bowtie method can be used in various risk assessment contexts. For example, a company might develop a bowtie analysis to show how they manage a particular hazard in all their stations, linking the control measures or barriers to specific processes and procedures in their safety management system. They might then use the bow tie model as an audit support tool to verify that the controls are being effectively implemented in different stations.

Historically spikes gave way to cast iron chairs fixed to the tie, more recently springs (such as Pandrol clips) are used to fix the rail to the tie chair.A recent example of using bow tie analysis as part of a Taking Safe Decisionsprocess was a cross-industry investigation of concerns over freight derailment. The development of the bow tie brought together several disciplines, and representatives of different stakeholder companies. The freight derailment bow tie model supports the activities to manage freight risk under the rail industry’s health and safety strategy Leading Health and Safety on Britain's Railway.

Asian countries, such as China, Japan, and India, have their own set of specifications for railroad tie dimensions to accommodate their unique railway systems and requirements. These specifications take into consideration factors such as climate, terrain, and the types of trains operating in each country.

Moisture content is another significant factor that affects railroad tie dimensions. Wood is a hygroscopic material, meaning it absorbs or releases moisture from its surroundings, leading to swelling or shrinking effects. The width of a railroad tie is another crucial dimension that affects its performance and compatibility. Standard width for railroad ties typically ranges from 8 to 10 inches, or 20 to 25 centimeters. This width provides a stable base for the rails to rest upon and helps distribute the weight of the trains evenly.Severn Beach and Avonmouth to Bristol Temple Meads and Weston-super-Mare (The Severn Beach line) (PDF, 248 KB) The stretcher bars (In this case of flat construction) link the two turnout blades together so that they can operated as a pair.
