World File Hacker
A utility for modifying train simulator routes that will place berms, signal boxes, and bridges automatically on a route using the StaticDetailLevel of a given shape. When the utility runs, it copies over the coordinates of the track or road section, and places the second (or third?) shape at the same position. This results in perfect alignment when the shape is made to go under (or over) the track/road.

Tangent
Recently updated to work with Goku's TSRE Editor.
Tangent is used to calculate the rotation for a straight piece of track between a known startpoint and endpoint. Calculated values can be copied to the clipboard and applied using the "Paste Rot" function in the Route Editor.

IRM Route
This route, created by Eric Olesen several years ago, has been made available periodically as a way to help raise funds for the Illinois Railway Museum.
It comes with track and scenery, but no activities. It's a showcase for your collection, just like a museum would be.
I'm asking $20 minimum donation, but please feel free to donate more if you feel inclined to do so.

You're not just getting software. You're helping preserve railroad history.
Ever since Digital Rails started selling utilities and routes in 2015, proceeds after expenses have been directed towards railroad preservation. Yes, we do have operating expenses -- web hosting isn't free, and the storefront operator & PayPal charge transaction fees. The rest gets put back towards preservation.
Organizations such as the Illinois Railway Museum and CNW Historical Society have benefitted, as have the operators of non-commercial websites supporting the train simulation community.
