I only saw mention of BART and DART for light rail (BART is sort of light rail). Many light rail systems use concrete ties. Where there are ties on the Sacremento light rail system, it is all concrete. (Correct me if I'm wrong.) Also I believe the LA system uses concrete ties, but I can't recall. The Baltimore light rail system uses some, but I don't know if they also have wooden ones also because I haven't been there for a while. I really haven't actually seen to many mainlines railroads using concrete ties, except in more urban areas. Out in the "wilderness/desert" I only see wooden ties. That's all I have to say right now. Hope that helps.
