摘要：SUMMARY General observations were made on the durability of wood ties used in the old Tocantins railroad. Nine different timbers were identified, with Itauba (Mezilaurus itauba) showing the greatest durability. Other species that also showed high durability were Acapu (Vouacapoua americana), Macaranduba (Manilkara huberi), Sucupira da-terra-firme (Bowdickia nitida) and Mata-matá (Eschweilera sp.).
