The first time I saw concrete ties was along the Burlington Northern main line through southern North Dakota, specifically in Medora, ND. This is a very busy line with some pretty long and heavy coal trains. The one place I saw a turnout along this line it was still constructed with wooden ties. There was also a flange oiler near this turnout which might make an interesting detail to model. Other than that, the only other places I've seen them is along the new mass transit lines in Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas.
