I support Chad on this. Jmann has some very nice track.
Only problem I can see is I believe his track is for 3.6 build? I know dermmy uses trainz 10, but I'm sure if you PM he could probably upload a back dated version. He is a very nice guy and was also talking about making a version with the ties misaligned for sidings and what not.

@ Ex and Chris - nice EK shotz!
@ chadd & trainman - thanks for the suggestion. This is the 3.6 version (which backdates to 3.3 without any problems) and I like it better than the 2.9 version, which is (to my eye) very dark. This is deffinitely the 'best' (opinion - yours may vary!) I have found in terms of visual appeal balanced against performance impact. I still reckon the rail is a bit 'dark', but I might play around with the textures a bit and see if I can't work something out. There is no 'rusty' version of this track, but it has an 'old' look that makes 'rusty' not really necessary. Thanks for the suggestion...

To me a brand new, clean, milled RR tie just looks too immaculately unprototypical ... Most RR tracks are very dirty, greasy grimy, with a few ballast rocks and debris on top of the ties, every so often.
The staggered, uneven, misaligned ties track, just looks like much too shoddily laid RR ties.
