I would love to be able to hotkey to show Rail blocks for troubleshooting and planning. Something like

though maybe not multicolored.

What rail block each rail is part of is available, I wonder if it'd be possible to make a mod that highlights all rails part of the block the cursor is over?

If you hit F4, you can define what details are shown for hitting F5 ('basic' tab), F6 ('detailed' tab), and F7 ('full' tab)

Can pick one, uncheck everything, and then only checkmark the box for 'Show_Rail_Segments.
Then the game will display the rail blocks any time you hit one of those F keys.

Admittedly, it isn't to clearly displayed (especially around intersections, since it will show both paths as separate blocks).
The graphic you posted is much nicer.

That's actually pretty cool but I see what you mean. It would be nice if there was a way to hotkey a radius around a player that revealed such a highlight when close to track.
