Time/Speed Benefits of Concrete Ties

[Railroadluvr]

What are the speed capabilities for using Concrete Ties? Comparison versus new concrete ties vs. worn out concrete ties vs. wooden ties.

Also the same information for steel ties and composite ties? as well as the cost for these

Thanks

All help is greatly appreciated
