this is because wooden sleepers increase the area on which pressure of train is to be exerted.Thus pressure is not concentrated on a single point densely.therefore if there more area there would be less pressure and train will run smoothly.As we know P=1/A

The wooden or concrete railway sleeper (or railroad tie) is used as the base for the railway track to keep the tracks intact in its place In other words, wooden sleepers hold the rails to the correct gauge. Additionally, they absorb and distribute the weight of the train uniformly

Wooden (or concrete) sleepers are kept below the railway line because weight of the train is balanced and distance between track remains same

The railway tracks are laid on large sized wooden sleepers so that the thrust due to the weight of the train is spread over a large area .This reduces the pressure on the ground which would prevent the yielding of ground.

Because the wooden sleepers helps to increases the area of contact between the train and wooden sleepers and thus because of large area of contact there would be less pressure and the train would move smoothly.

This is because that the weight of passing train is spread over a large area of ground and the track. May not sunk into the ground.
