Mystery Railway Tie – Help Needed!

Hello fellow railway enthusiasts,

I’m a train driver at Dutch Railways and have a passion for collecting ties from railway companies around the world. Recently, I received a tie, but there was no note or indication of which railway company sent it.

After some research, I discovered that the tie was manufactured by Incorporatewear with the following details:

Product Description: Standard Tie
Product Code: EM122
Purchase No: 169941/0
Manufacture Code: 01784

I’ve attached a photo of the tie. Does anyone recognize it or know which railway company might be using this design? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
Michel Velders

The purple looks very similar to East Midlands Railway's (EMR) purple. I would say it comes from there.

Incorporatewear are supplier to Transport UK companies so sounds like the above is correct.

Definitely EMR. The mml code gives it away as I remember that's what each individual item code started with.

I have sent an email to EMR. They confirmed that it came from them. Thanks for your thoughts.
