You can find them both ways in real life but the majority was and still are pretty flat with maybe the mains being a little higher and of heavier track. The railroad tend to do things cheap as possible. They even use less ties in yards and leave them in the ground longer. Also, lots of yards are tranversed with truck traffic (team yards) and the ties are completely burried in gravel/dirt mixture and the cars "flange" out the dirt and rocks. All you see in these yard are the tops of the track with a 2" wide furrow on the inside edges.
