Installed rails:
750 straight rails (32 studs)
450 straight rails (16 studs)
250 curves R40 (circle=16)
190 curves R56 (circle=16)
200 curves R72 (circle=32)
80 curves R88 (circle=32)
50 curves R104 (circle=32)
50 curves R120 (circle=64)
32 curves R136 (circle=64)
56 switches
38 x-train crossings (2 inputs + 2 outputs)
1 6-way crossings (3 inputs + 3 outputs)
1 20-way crossing (10 inputs + 10 outputs, self 3d printed, see    • Growing LEGO Train Crossings | 3D pri...  )
200 flexible rails
In total, about 400 meters of rails were used for up to 15 trains.
Additionally, about 28k LEGO pieces have been used for building the bridges, including
8k 2x4 bricks
6k 2x2 bricks
3.5k 2x2 round bricks
4k plates (2x4, 2x6, 2x8, 2x14, 2x16, 6x16, 8x16)

The train elevator fits trains up to 2 meters length and covers three layers. Incoming trains are detected and the elevator gets called. Trains on the elevator may choose the destination by color coding, or a random Destination is chosen. More Information can be found here    • Automated 2 Meter LEGO Train Elevator...  

The suspension bridge has a total length of more than 4m, with a span of 2m between the two support pillars. The train roadway is 33 bricks above the ground.

23 of the switches are controlled automatically by LEGO Mindstorms (2x51515) or Powered Up hubs (8xTechnic Hub, 3xCity Hub), i. e. trains are detected by infrared/ distance sensors, which causes the switch to change direction randomly. The powered up hubs are programmed using Pybricks (https://pybricks.com). See https://github.com/Tegowalik/LEGO-Swi... for more information.

Multiple trains are using 2 Powered Up motors (see    • LEGO Powered Up Tutorial | How to pro...   and https://github.com/Tegowalik/Pybricks... for more information).
