A railroad comprising at least one railroad tie, as well as at least two respective rails (7, 8), which railroad tie is manufactured from at least plastic, and wherein an elongated reinforcing structure is embedded in the plastic, and which railroad tie has a reference condition, being an installed operation condition of the railroad tie, in which reference condition the longitudinal tie direction of the railroad tie and a rail track direction of the railroad, which rail track direction is perpendicular to the longitudinal tie direction, are each extending horizontally, wherein, as seen in said reference condition: - the railroad tie has an upper side, which has two respective rail attachment areas (5, 6), being mutually spaced apart in the longitudinal tie direction, and onto which the two respective rails (7, 8), extending mutually parallel in the rail track direction, are attached by means of attachment means; - the railroad tie has two respective rail supporting longitudinal tie segments (15, 16), which are situated vertically below the two respective rail attachment areas; - the elongated reinforcing structure is extending in the longitudinal tie direction; and - in the two rail supporting longitudinal tie segments (15, 16) the railroad tie has a lower lateral stiffness than in an intermediate longitudinal tie segment, lying in-between the two rail supporting longitudinal tie segments; characterized in that - the elongated reinforcing structure in the longitudinal tie direction is extending at least from and including at least a part of one of the two rail supporting longitudinal tie segments upto and including at least a part of the other of the two rail supporting longitudinal tie segments; and - said lower lateral stiffness is realized at least by change of shape of said reinforcing structure in the longitudinal tie direction and/or by the range within which said reinforcing structure extends in the longitudinal tie direction. - the railroad tie has an upper side, which has two respective rail attachment areas (5, 6), being mutually spaced apart in the longitudinal tie direction, and onto which the two respective rails (7, 8), extending mutually parallel in the rail track direction, are attached by means of attachment means; - the railroad tie has two respective rail supporting longitudinal tie segments (15, 16), which are situated vertically below the two respective rail attachment areas; - the elongated reinforcing structure is extending in the longitudinal tie direction; and - in the two rail supporting longitudinal tie segments (15, 16) the railroad tie has a lower lateral stiffness than in an intermediate longitudinal tie segment, lying in-between the two rail supporting longitudinal tie segments; characterized in that - the elongated reinforcing structure in the longitudinal tie direction is extending at least from and including at least a part of one of the two rail supporting longitudinal tie segments upto and including at least a part of the other of the two rail supporting longitudinal tie segments; and - said lower lateral stiffness is realized at least by change of shape of said reinforcing structure in the longitudinal tie direction and/or by the range within which said reinforcing structure extends in the longitudinal tie direction.
