For US routes I tend to use MLT's (payware) track textures from either KHP2, D&H or CC payware routes. If you like a realistic viewing distance for signals I recommend also their free SigView mod. Have a look on http://www.uktrainsim.com there are some track textures there too. I particularly like the ScotTrax textures for Brit/Euro routes.
