Took me all of 25 minutes to download over an ADSL line and less that 15 minutes to unzip, install and get running under OR. Initial impressions are that it is a definite improvement over the previous version. Only problem is that I think I need a new graphics card to handle it (which I have been thinking about for a while anywhere).
Thank you for your efforts in upgrading the route, there must have been a great deal of work involved.

Vince,
Appears there may be a problem with the track going up to and around Horseshoe Curve from Altoona. About halfway up the hill to the curve, the tracks disappear and continue to not be present until after the curve when I cut off the simulator. Tried to run the Open Rails version several times, yet always came up with the same spot on the tracks, halfway up, and at the same spot on all 4 tracks, after that, no longer appearing in the sim.
Please take a look at it, especially if it appears to happen elsewhere in the route.
Thanks,
Steve Burr

Far as I recall, the Horseshoe Curve section uses ScaleRail which is in the Global/Shapes folder that came with the route. I have just run a short path from bottom to top and track is present and correct.

Folks,
Any bug reports must have an OpenRailsLog.txt attached to the post. Cannot speculate on bugs without it.
I thought I made this clear in the ReadMe..

Wow... just wow! One of my favorite routes, and a fabulous re-work. Thank you, Vince! http://www.elvastower.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/thumbup3.gif

There is some ScaleRail in incomplete sections. I did not touch any ScaleRail at all. I just tidied up the terrain-under-track.
One thing I think may need looking at is the gradient from Altoona up to to the curve. Is it really 3% in spots in the real world? I don't have track charts for this area.
I'm glad to hear folks enjoying the route, it was a real joy editing with a real editor (TSRE5).
If proper precautions are taken anyone can edit any route now plus I'm trained up so now I can restart work on the LIRR.Keep in mind though that even if you move a platform marker by the smallest amount you trash any activity that uses it. I found this out the hard way taking an extra month redoing att the activities , , , as you may have noticed, there is a fairly large amount of AI on the three NEC activities. I had reduced local service between Newark. NJ and Philly from 6 to 4 trains per hour.
Six locals per hour produced some epic delays but eventually it worked out but it was really a bit too much and so 4 per hour each direction. Local Philly to Washington loop service AI was always 4 per hour. It's unbelievable that Open Rails handles all these trains exactly the same each time the activity is run.
It's gets interesting when you set Activity Randomization ON, level 1 for these activities. http://www.elvastower.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/bigboss.gifI hear Activity Generator is working up templates for the route.
regards and back to Skyrim . . . for a while.

I just downloaded the route from Trainsim, unzipped it and ran it - started perfectly !
Old version was a favorite, this one is even better.
Many thanks,

Hi,
I have been looking at TrainSim.com's file library, but I seem unable to locate this route anywhere.
Can/Would somebody provide me with the download link?

Hi Hans,
Although, primarily, it's a route for Open Rails, it's included in the library as an MSTS route!
The file to be downloaded is : prr-east-v2-install.zip
Cheers,
Ged
