I work for the local transit authority here in Utah, and we are expanding our light rail car yard. One of the new tracks added on to the side of the current building is being laid with plastic ties. It will be covered with a concrete floor, but right now they look JUST like weathered Atlas code 100 flex track (black ties with silver track!!!) I understand some of the new yard storage tracks will be done with these ties as well. The whole yard is currently reused wood ties (from the original track our mainline now occupies) and spikes with jointed rail. It feels just like your operating over some Atlas snap track! Our mainline is all concrete ties (with the exception of switches which are wood, and even some of those have been converted to concrete ties (another story all together!) ) with welded rail. The only joints are switches and IJ's (insulated joints, for signaling purposes) so the ride is very SMOOOOOOTH.
