Date Jan. 26, 1995A combination includes railway tracks, each having two substantially parallel rails, each of the rails having a substantially horizontal ledge. The tracks include a first track defining a transverse discontinuity along a length thereof and comprising a first track segment and a second track segment, each of the track segments including rail ends defining a corresponding edge of the discontinuity. A second branch track diverges laterally from the first track and includes rail ends adjacent one side of the discontinuity. The first track segment further includes a switch zone portion which can flex between a first position where the rail ends of the first track segment align with the rail ends of the second track segment, and a second position where the rail ends of the first track segments align with the rail ends of the second branch track. Ties connect the rails of the switch zone portion to one another and maintain these rails in a substantially constant spaced relationship.
