TransDEM manuals:
- From TransDEM itself: via main window:
- Help and Trainz menus,
- or toolbar icons with question mark,
- or keyboard shortcuts [F1] and [Shift]+[F1]
- From the windows Start menu (use "All Programs" with Win 7): Ziegler-Tools | Documentation
- From Windows Explorer: C:\Program Files\Ziegler-Tools\Dokumentation\*.pdf
I really recommend reading some of the stuff written there.

...I tried to open up the rail vector file and then I got an error message saying that there is an error reading the file,
Just downloaded a CanVec package (083G01), no problems opening and displaying the railroad layer here.

When I opened up the New York City DEM in surveyor, I noticed while I was using the DEM in surveyor, there was a drop in fps.
Trainz terrain with ground texture alone should not cause high CPU & GPU load / low fps on a reasonably dimensioned machine, including laptops. It's the scenery/rolling stock that brings fps down.
