Toronto still has tons of streetcars, and therefore lots of switches in pavement. I assume these would be similar for conventional railway applications??? This website explains how they work [www.quora.com] but here’s a couple screen grabs to save you looking.
It’s fun to take the country-raised grandkids for trolley rides in the big city, including on the subway.
Cheers,
