wide wooden sleepers are placed below the railway tracks,why

Answer 1

This is because wooden sleepers increase the area on which pressure of train is to be exerted.Thus pressure is not concentrated on a single point densely.therefore if there more area there would be less pressure and train will run smoothly.As we know P=1/A.

Answer 2

wooden sleepers are kept below the railway lines so that there is less pressure of the train on the ground and railway lines may not sink into the ground.
