I assume TS2009 working OK before it crashed one month ago !!!!
Make sure you have your existing content safely backed up. You could try un-installing TS2009, then running a reg cleaner program like CCleaner. - http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/
Then do a clean install of TS2009. Then patch to SP2. - http://forums.auran.com/trainz/showthread.php?t=33679
Check that everything is working OK and if so slowly start to import your old contents into TS2009. Instead of importing it all at once, try breaking it down into say five separate lots of imports.
Check each time that you import 20% of your contents that everything is still working OK, before you try and import the next 20% of content. (Your problem might be that you have some faulty content that is causing it to crash).
By doing a clean install and making sure that works OK, you are ruling out the probability of it being a hardware or Vista problem...
Keep us posted.

Sometimes, TS fails to start, and I find that it is already running. Use CTL-ALT-Del to bring up the Task Manager, go to the processes tab, and look for Trainz, Launcher, or Jet.
If any of these are running, end the processes, then try starting Trainz again.
As for registry cleanup tools, I was using PCTools Registry Mechanic and UniBlue Registry Booster 2 before I found RegCure, which I now prefer. None of these is freeware, but not expensive.
I also agree with updating your video drivers, but you may also want to make sure you have the latest version of OpenGL. Don't try to run TS2009 on DirectX. It works on my system, but a lot of players have found that it will crash.
OpenGL's performance is superior for TS anyhow.
Another thing you may want to look at is what is running on your system when you are trying to run TS.
There may be apps or utilities that will cause any game to crash.
My system has been very stable running TS2009_SP2. A lot better than TS2006 ever was.
Hope this helps
