Hmmm . . . What happens if the texture is in one location - but symbolic links drop it into other folders? I imagine Open Rails sees the different paths and loads it multiple times? Or not?

We work with the original path specified in the source file (e.g. shape file), without doing anything clever, so any kind of linking (symbolic links, hard links, or similar) that makes the same physical file appear in multiple places will not reduce the number of times it is loaded.
