Kay-Martin Hanschmann 100 years of evolution of the same line. The route runs from Hagen to Dieringhausen in the moutain area of Sauerland and Bergisches Land in Northrhine-Westphalia. Most of the line south of Bruegge was closed down for passenger trains in the 1970s and a lot of branch lines also disappeared. At the moment there is a lot of track work, because in 2015 the passenger trains shall run the complete route again. At Deutsche Bahn homepage, this line can be found with numbers 434 Hagen-Brügge and 459 Meinerzhagen-Dieringhausen.
Compare the 2014 layout with the real layout of the 1950s (thanks to sporenplan.nl). The timetable is fictional, but the layout is real.
The same layout is also shown from 100 years ago, with the original passenger trains timetable (thanks to deutsches-kursbuch.de) and the estimated freight trains timetable, with steam trains running up and down the valley of the Vollme river.

Kay-Martin Hanschmann Layout of the railway connections of Borken, Westphalia, situated close to the borders of the Netherlands. The 1950s has still cross-border traffic. The timetable is fictitious but shall give an impression of the traffic of those days. All trains have a letter below their icon to show their destination.
The 1968 version includes the lines from Ahaus to Borken, Winterswijk to Dorsten, and Bocholt to Coesfeld. Based on original track layouts from 1968 (though Rhedebruegge was already reduced at 1964 to two tracks, Burlo might have also been reduced to 3 tracks) Borken track layout is slightly simplified (1-2 tracks removed) to make it playable. Timetable is the original reconstruction from 1968 (Kursbuch 1968). Freight trains are based on 1967 timetable; Ueg's, Klv trains, and freight trains Ahaus/Vreden-Borken are imaginary.
Today Borken is a terminus for passenger trains to / from Essen via Dorsten and the last layout station receiving freight is Deuten.

Linea Marunouchi 3/1/18 257kB Pietro Rei The Tokyo metro Marunouchi line is a subway line in Tokyo, one of the oldest - and also one of the busiest. The scenario includes both weekdays and weekends timetables. It uses scripted signals and custom train icons (included in the zip file). It's not extremely challenging, so I added depot and empty train movements (using fictional timetables).

The Seibu Ikebukuro Line (西武池袋線) is a suburb line in western Tokyo, with really extreme rush hours in the mornings and evenings. The simulation has both weekdays timetables (very hard) and weekends timetables (a little easier, but still hard). As it is pretty much difficult to play, there is some documentation attached in the zip file to understand how the line works.
More information about the line is available at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seibu_Ikebukuro_Line

The automatic version shows a slightly updated version of the simulation. You can watch the traffic develop on the scenario up to 60x real-time (don't increase the speed multiplier above 60x). Also, click on the X sign at the top of the layout for the desired simulated day.
A video showing the evolution of the simulation is available on YouTube

 
Tsurumi 11/27/13 220kB Pietro Rei The Tsurumi Line is a short passenger line in Kawasaki (in the south Tokyo suburbs) serving a portuary and industrial zone. It is famous among Japanese railway fans for its unique profile and its many branches compared to its length. Traffic is not heavy, but the 200 daily trains make for interesting dispatching.

costa 3/19/11 170k Jordi Collado Simulation of the lines connecting Maçanet and Barcelona. Another difficult simulation due to the number of trains (650) and the variety of destinations. A 2x or 5x simulation speed is recommended. The file README-COSTA.TXT (English) or LEEME-COSTA.txt (Spanish) describes the simulation in detail.  
Sant Vicenc-L'Hospitalet/El Prat 4/4/10 170k Jordi Collado Scenario temporarily unavailable upon the author's request who is going to make several corrections.
This Spanish scenario is the simulation of the Vilafranca and Vilanova lines, part of the railroad network that spreads from Barcelona. The simulation is extremely difficult, due to the number of trains (750) and the variety of destinations. Lots of fun, although it might give you a headache...

Chicago Loop 7/17/17 758k bipbip Loop section of Chicago's Rapid Transit.
Chicago's Rapid Transit comprises several lines, identified by different colors, that share the elevated tracks in the downtown area of the city in what is known as the "Chicago Loop". In this area, and especially where the lines branch to the suburbs (at Tower 12 and Tower 18), the traffic is quite heavy, especially during rush hour.
If you are interested, CTA has a YouTube channel where they put the train driver's view of all the lines (for example, here's the Brown Line).
New York Subway
lines 1,2,3
11/12/16 354k bipbip This scenario shows the movement of NYC subway's trains on the Broadway Line and its branches. Lines 1 and 3 are entirely shown, line 2 is shown between 135 St. and Flatbush Ave. stations, lines 4 and 5 are shown only in Brooklyn borough. The simulation begins at 3 a.m. and finishes at 3 a.m. in the following night. The layout uses Monday to Friday schedules (June 2016).
This is an ambitious scenario that uses up the maximum horizontal extension allowed by the simulator. Therefore it's advisable to use of an ultra-wide screen, or the use of an external web browser to show the layout on 2 independent screens.
Philadelphia 4/1/14 1.7M Guido Motta Line section between Philadelphia and Perryville, on the Northeast Corridor's line Boston - New York - Washington, D.C. The simulated section includes Philadelphia's suburbs with regional Septa traffic and long distance Amtrak traffic. The information pages included in the package describe in detail the various services and the Norac signaling system, which is also simulated. Considering that this is Guido's first scenario he did a very good job!
Requires version 3.8s of Train Director.
BART East Bay 10/7/12 600k Giampiero Caprino East Bay section of San Francisco's BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit).
