It was a rudimentary blue/white monochrome app where you could lay out tracks and simulate/model a railroad.

No idea what it was called.

A-Train had monochrome support.

Design your own railroad seems vaguely similar, but I recall it was a shareware or freeware program.

It looked a LOT like PC-Rail:

Was there a DOS version of PC-Rail?

There is a program called JB Bahn which is not black and white, although there might be a hidden option in the menus. No idea. It is a very advanced simulation of railway layouts and timetables. Early versions were DOS compatible. Newer ones are Windows releases afaik.

I had a shareware copy on a floppy disk which was DOS compatible around 20 years ago.
