That would be for Pt-Pt, Nick, but the asker wants Pt-Br, and the correct name is "dormentes".

Nick Taylor

I am so unused to seeing ties (US)

08:43 Dec 20, 2015

rather than sleeper (UK).....
So the correct answer is, in fact, "marcar o alinhamento em cada travessa"

For years and the nomencature is Travessa
http://fergrupo.pt/projectos/principais-obras-realizadas/lin...
Procedeu-se à substituição de todo o armamento de via, que passou a ser constituído por travessas monobloco polivalentes e carril 54kg/m em barra longa soldada. Para o efeito, a via foi desguarnecida, entre 25 a 30cm abaixo da face inferior da travessa, e, posteriormente, guarnecida com balastro granítico novo.

the "gabarito" is the "fiddle" - though I doubt that they are much used now

Nick Taylor

That's a great link isn't it!

09:49 Dec 19, 2015

It is the same one as I used.
I suppose what you have described is the making of a "gabarito"

tie fiddle

07:45 Dec 19, 2015

A tie fiddle is seldom furnished in an outfit of tools,
but can easily be made with a saw and hammer. A cleat
is nailed across the end at right angles to a short board,
the standard distance that the ties are to project beyond
the rail base is marked off from the inside edge of the
cleat, and the board is sawed off on this lin^. When
placed on the face with the cleat against the end of the
tie, the uncleated end of the tie fiddle shows the correct
line for the outside of the rail base. The tie fiddle is an
exceedingly useful adjunct to the tools of a track gang.
