USTracks. I'm actually going up this weekend to recon a bit more of the line in person, so I'll see if I buckle down and finish it this time

I would recommend trying to contact a historical society for any of these railroads. GN and NP I think have a joint society, since they were basically sister roads for most of their lives. There is a...

Isn't there some sort of security protection on Disc 2 that acts up on newer OSs?

You don't need MSTS to install Open Rails. The only thing MSTS does for you is get you some default stuff, for older routes

If I recall right, TSRE was written in Python

If you can attach a track piece to the ghost lines, then you can use the hack by selecting the visible piece and using said hack

I'm pretty sure the 'delete vector' hack in TSRE will remove TDB lines without shapes, but I haven't used it in a while

You don't. I don't think such a control has ever been implemented in OR. Even if it has, it probably would require .eng file modification to work

I assume you mean protection for workers going between (or otherwise very close to) cars?

There is no Generator Field switch to my knowledge, but I do the other two steps: set full independent...

My install only has the US3/US3r shapes currently, along with DB2 bridge track (USTracks does not have bridge shapes). I used to have the hard-shoulder and embankment shapes, but when I discovered...

TSRE has a function built right in that allows swapping out shapes. On the left side of the screen near the top is a field displaying the shape's name. Under it is a button named 'Edit' where you can...

Bear in mind that if the goal is to use the new track system for new routes, then placing Xtracks shapes and immediately converting them to said new track shapes (TSRE has a means of doing this) is...

What version of TSRE are you using? If the version you're using doesn't prompt you while loading, odds are that it doesn't have that feature

Why not just make them replacement shapes for Xtracks, in the US/DBTracks style? That way you don't have to mess with the tsection at all

Don't newer versions of TSRE have an option to update dynamic track to not have problems with newer tsection versions? I haven't had a route tsection go bad in a long time

Never mind the sheer number of people that have asked the same question over the...however long this has been a feature

A red light with a G (grade) plate allows a train to pass a red automatic signal at restricted speed without having to stop (basically upgrading a Stop and Proceed signal to the equivalent of a...

Pro tip: Billings is in Montana, about 50 miles north of Wyoming (as the crow flies)

Edit: you beat me to it

There seemed to be a bug recently that threw flashers out of whack (including my own, which definitely did work). A newer version of OR likely patch that

The CP speedposts I've seen look fairly similar to BNSF, but I've only seen them on Paynesville Sub., which is freight-only (I think they do multiple limits differently?). I've got a sizeable set of...

If they were closed after 1970 there's a good chance they will be in there. If it happened in the PRR era (when did Penn Central form?)...probably not. That said, I have found gaps in data on...

I seem to recall that being the result of 'running trough' switches (which were not lined for your route). I think loops could also cause it

You could likely get away with a utility correcting bad data in the sigcfg, since that's most likely where any signal-related errors are (especially when previously separate signal systems are...

Because some people misused his systems back in the day, they are not publicly available.

Cleaning up the sigcfg file might be of use, mostly checking for duplicates or misnumberings, but the OR...

I have finished collecting and sorting the data, and am working on a manual - most of the data is self-explanatory, but I think it's worth having a bit of commentary and detail-filling. I have also...
