Why are railroad rails attached to wide sleepers?

The pressure on the surface can be determined by the formula: P = mg / S where P is the pressure, m is the mass, g is the acceleration of gravity, S is the contact area. The formula shows that the pressure is inversely proportional to the area. The rails are laid on wide sleepers to reduce the pressure on the ground.
