ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
I hear you on the practically of custom engineering every tie at a crossover or switch (I'm a mechanical designer), but that's what they've done for the gauntlet track switches (all those ties have a unique part number and are just slightly different). I'd really be surprised if the crossover ended up being wood in the end! I'll have to review and see what's done elsewhere; I don't remember ever seeing a predominantly concrete-tied system switch back to wood for crossovers in my travels.
