Get a fkn life folks...95%of the track HAS concrete ties...Ten-foot WOOD ties are required for road crossings and is the industry standard as the concrete panels need to be bolted down to the ties. Using concrete ties in crossings is next to IMPOSSIBLE....you could never get precast threaded inserts in concrete ties to line up with holes in the panels to line up with those in the ties...this learned from 25+ years in the railroad industry...stop your bitchin!
