1. A tie extension bracket comprising: a rectangular-shaped box having at least three sides, two of the sides being arranged parallel to each other and the remaining side being a connecting support plate connecting the two parallel sides to each other,wherein the two parallel sides extend beyond the connecting support plate to form a U-shaped portion dimensioned to receive at least an end portion of a railroad tie therein, andthe connecting support plate extends beyond an end surface of the end portion of the railroad tie received in the U-shaped portion. 2. The bracket as claimed in claim 1, further comprising: a top connecting plate, perpendicular to the parallel sides, connected at a second portion of an upper edge of each of the parallel sides,wherein the connecting support plate is configured to support a switch on an upper surface thereof. 3. The bracket as claimed in claim 2, the parallel sides each having a tie extension portion and a support portion, the tie extension portion corresponding to the portion of the side extending beyond the connecting support plate, the support portion corresponding to at least the length of the side corresponding to the connection of the connecting support plate, wherein the bracket further comprises a switch supported on the connecting support plate. 4. The bracket as claimed in claim 3, the support portion of each of the parallel sides having a height less than a height of the tie extension portion, the bracket extending away from a rail being supported by the received railroad tie, the support portion extending beyond and away from the end portion of the railroad tie received in the U-shaped portion. 5. The bracket as claimed in claim 3, the support portion of each of the parallel sides having a length greater than a length of the tie extension portion. 6. The bracket as claimed in claim 3, each of the parallel sides having at least one through-hole formed in each of the tie extension portion and the support portion. 7. The bracket as claimed in claim 3, further comprising an isolation pad on the upper surface of the connecting support plate and configured to isolate the switch to be supported by the connecting support plate. 8. The bracket as claimed in claim 3, further comprising an isolation pad between the connecting support plate and the switch. 9. The bracket as claimed in claim 2, each of the parallel sides having at least two through-holes formed in the tie extension portion. 10. The bracket as claimed in claim 2, the top connecting plate positioned such that an inner surface of the top connecting plate faces an upper surface of the received end portion of the railroad tie. 11. The bracket as claimed in claim 1, further comprising: a rear connecting plate, perpendicular to the parallel sides, connected at an end edge of each of the parallel sides. 12. The bracket as claimed in claim 11, the rear connecting plate being perpendicular to the connecting support plate. 13. The bracket as claimed in claim 12, the rear connecting plate positioned such that the surface of the rear connecting plate faces the end surface of the received end portion of the railroad tie. 14. The bracket as claimed in claim 1, further comprising: a bottom plate, parallel to the connecting support plate, connected at a lower edge of each of the parallel sides. 15. The bracket as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of the parallel sides comprises at least one through-hole formed therein and for mounting the bracket to the railroad tie therein. 16. The bracket as claimed in claim 15, wherein the at least one through-hole formed in each of the parallel sides is aligned with the other at least one through-hole formed in the other parallel side. 17. The bracket as claimed in claim 15, wherein the at least one through-hole is two or more through-holes formed therein. 18. The bracket as claimed in claim 15, further comprising: at least one anchor rod sized to span the formed U-shaped portion. 19. The bracket as claimed in claim 18, wherein the anchor rod is arranged to extend beyond the side of the parallel sides when inserted in each of the at least one through-holes and spanning the formed U-shaped portion. 20. The bracket as claimed in claim 1, the connecting support plate having at least one through-hole formed therein for connecting another object to the tie extension bracket. 21. The bracket as claimed in claim 1, further comprising an end plate, perpendicular to the parallel sides, connected at the edge of the support portion adjacent the tie extension portion. 22. A tie extension bracket comprising: a pair of parallel sides;a support surface, perpendicular to the parallel sides, and connected at a first portion of the upper edge of each of the parallel sides, the parallel sides extending beyond the connection with the support surface to form a U-shaped portion arranged to receive an end portion of a railroad tie therein; anda top connecting plate, perpendicular to the parallel sides, connected at a second portion of the upper edge of each of the parallel sides,wherein the support surface extends beyond an end surface of the end portion of the railroad tie received in the U-shaped portion and the top connecting plate having a length shorter than a length of the U-shaped portion. 23. The bracket as claimed in claim 22, each of the parallel sides having a tie extension portion corresponding to the portion of the side extending beyond the connection with the support surface, the support portion corresponding to a portion of the length of the side corresponding to the connection of the support surface, the height of the tie extension portion being greater than the height of the support portion, wherein the bracket further comprises an end plate, perpendicular to the parallel sides, connected at the edge of the support portion adjacent the tie extension portion. 24. A tie extension bracket configuration, the configuration comprising: first and second tie extension brackets spaced apart from each other, each tie extension bracket having a tie extension portion and a support portion, the tie extension portion configured to receive a portion of a railroad tie at least partially into an interior thereof, the support portion having a connecting support plate connecting two parallel sides of the tie extension bracket to each other; anda switch spanning the first and second tie extension brackets and supported on the connecting support plate of each of the first and second tie extension brackets,wherein the support portion is configured to extend beyond an end surface of an end portion of a railroad tie received within the tie extension portion. 25. The tie extension bracket configuration as claimed in claim 24, wherein the first and second tie extension brackets are spaced apart from each other in a direction perpendicular to at least one of the received railroad ties.
