One big factor for not using concrete ties is COST! To custom make the ties needed for a turnout would be very expensive. Using wood ties is far more cost effective. That is the reason why we opted for wood at turnouts and concrete for the main lines. <br /> <br />*** Watkins PE, former board menber, DART
