Japan Railpack
This pack is intended as a one-stop-shop to build all kinds of track found in Japan. Currently it features standard railways in different gauges and track types. I’m working on expanding it to cover rubber tyred transports, monorails, and maglevs.

The track cost is increased towards a more realistic figure and depends on gauge, sleeper type, and elevation of the track. Tracks do not interact with roads, allowing steep level crossings. I trust you with that ;).
As a guide, the blue outline of blueprinted tracks indicates the appropriate loading gauge width of 3000 mm for standard lines, 3400 mm for Shinkansen lines, and 2744 mm for rural lines (762 mm). Special tracks may have different loading gauges.
There are invisible tracks for dual gauge/planning/etc. purposes. In blueprint mode they show a dotted version of the selected track gauge.
