You can wire the controller input in parallel using one controller. Not sure if that ties them together for all functions though. But I have a couple of those and just switch the first one and the second switch trips automatically when the train goes through.

 Too, if they are command, program them with the same address.

I'm installing two fastrack  double crossovers on my layout. How do you wire two turnouts to operate on one switch. Any ideas or help will be greatly appreciated.

I'm curious as to why you need to throw 2 switches on a double crossover.    If you throw the approaching switch the trailing switch will automatically align when the train actuates the non-derailing function.

Yes, it ties them together for all operations. For example, a train triggering the non-derail feature of one switch will cause the switch wired in parallel to also throw.

A word of caution. Wire only one of the yellow ("RSC LIGHTS") wires to the controller if you are flipping the two switches opposite regarding thru and diverging.
