The Java Model Railroad Interface, or JMRI, project is free and open-source that is aimed at building tools to help the model railroader employ computers to assist in using and running their layouts. We want it to be usable to as many people as possible, so we're building it in Java, which allows it to run on nearly any operating system and a wide range of hardware.
