>You have several different colors representing track
That's the North American Track Set. Different track types have different maximum speed and maintainence costs.

>Your landscape also looks like nothing I have ever seen.
It's a mountainous terragenesis map which I then modified by adding the rivers, towns, and industries by hand. Took a while but was worth it.

>You are definitely going to want to build more separated, high-speed tracks isolated from your freight network as those cities grow, for your express lines.
I plan for the future to a degree, but largely just build as I go and deal with problems as they arise. Some areas have dedicated freight and passenger lines, some don't. Depends on the terrain and traffic load. Generally I aim for a semi-realistic appearance.
