No, not possible, unless you have the original files from the author or own the original files that contains the content you produced.
The reason being is that Railworks requires a lot of different functions in the files that Trainz doesn't have and vice versa. I know from my experiences of trying to export my own content from Max to Trainz/Railworks, both exporters (As they covert the file I produced into a suitable format) have different requirements, like trainz will happily accept any so called materials (with the older exporters) and export the model happily. In railworks, if you don't use a material that has a specific parameter with their own plug in's, it chucks it out the window and refuse to deal with the file.
You COULD write a program that changes this, however, A) it would take you absolutely ages to write and you would need to have knowledge of both simulators, game engines and how they accept content. B) Legal issues, which means that if you did do it and used other authors work, which others have tried and claimed it as their own, you could end up with a very nasty court case which you could range from fines to imprisonment, depending on the crime and the outcome. So you need to ask yourself, is it worth it?
Now, I know you just asked one question, however, I also added a few points before you ask anymore (as some people ask can it be done, how, etc.) and then you have to explain more. I know someone has tried it, with trying to pass MSTS content as his own and he got caught out very very quickly.
