I'm coding two different routes and need help with switching the train onto another track. Like how the A switches to the right track
at 207th st.

Usually to switch tracks, you use the .turn command. Turn takes a ratio (of something I cant quite recall). Typically I've seen stuff like .turn 0.16, If I remember correctly this will switch it one track length to the right. Negating it (.turn -0.16,) will switch it to the left.
So if you have 2 parallel tracks A and B (A is on the left and B is on the right) and they are smacked right next to each other (which should simply be 4m), and you are on track A, .turn 0.16 should switch you onto track B. Then you would use the .rail command to readjust/add the other tracks accordingly.
I'm pretty sure thats a vague answer, and somebody else can probably offer a better explanation, but see if that helps. :P
There is a entry on turn on the wiki, though I dont really like it very much since it explains little to nothing, but it may be good for reference.

how do u make a signal display green over yellow

There should be a signal that comes with TJ's pack that displays a Yellow over Green signal or vice versa.

I tried using the rail command before and after the switch but it's only correct after the switch. Before the switch I have the other tracks crossing in front of me with the pillars

You have to remove the columns when your doing them. If your using the wall command, you have to change the wall index on the rail so that one side uses the wall and the other side uses nothing.

where is the switch track located in the route files?

Before attempting any of this , you have to at least know the basics to route coding. If you have absolutely no idea what the hell you are doing and just putting in random code in trying to make the train turn you will end up with stuff like this :

what train is that

I assume the R143 that overshot the bumper in the
ENYCanarsie Yard in '06

Lol, I fixed the problem. I forgot the mid section where I have to subtract the distances of track on both sides by two. It looks fine now.

can someone teach me to code can some tell me tell me what i have to do to make the switch code look right?

The switch objects are to be a distance of 50 away from each other. You'll need a few more rails to make it work. so say rail 1 is on
your right and u want to switch to the right. type railstart 2;0;0;1, if 1 is the same railtype as your running rail 0. now from the start of the switch
your rails are where they should be so just type the turn command (turn 0.08). at 25 ft you would type in .rail 1;2;0,.rail 2;-2;0, and then at 50 ft
you would type in .turn -0.08,.rail 1;0;0,.rail 1;-4;0,. You shouldn't see the tracks or walls cutting in front of you

I meant .rail 2;-4;0,
