Here is an interesting idea for a Trainz monorail project:
http://www.fiordlandlink.com/
Features several alignments of 40-45km of single beam with up to four passing sections, two "intermodal" stations, and some seriously interesting scenery. Out in the sticks so not much geospecific urban modeling required. Scripting opportunity to run 4 monorails simultaneously and operating switches for the passing sections.
The proposal also describes a low impact construction method using previously constructed beam to carry new beam sections then extend the new section out to the next pylon. I've often wondered why more beam isn't done that way.
It might be best if someone in the general vicinity (at least the same side of the globe) took a shot at it since they would be more familiar with the terrain, geology and flora of the area.
