<p>Ive seen this done in an industrial setting. 1 point is fixed and the other is movable channel point (otherwise known as a streetcar type switch) the operating equipment lies under a metal plate.  You may want to consider a gantlet switch and a switch with a reverse curve and a crossover as an alternate if space allows.  Not saying what you want to do cant be done but its probably wont be easy.  Track Planning for Realistic Operation 3rd ed. (John Armstrong) has some examples for how to arrange track in a street type setting.  If you arent interested in modfying your track plan you may want to consider using a wood or styrene crossing. Several are commercially available. </p>
