Hello Route Designers:Is there a way to retrieve the grades or track elevation a designer used to design a route with?This data could be translated into a track profile to help know whether you were approaching a power up to power down situation.Thanks in advance.

RE: Grades and Track Profiles

In the Route Editor, select each track section in turn: its slope will be shown in degrees as "elev" in the Object window.
