In the real railroad world crossovers are not superelevated. Running speed through a crossover is rarely more than Medium Speed (30 mph) or Limited speed (45 mph.) At those speeds there is no need for any superelevation.
Thanks Rich, saved us a bunch of re-work work!

Same situation, and not sure it is worth the effort on those.
