Could someone that has already downloaded the route give us a short description. It looks like it uses a Special Global file. The Read me is in Spanish so it's hard to tell what it requires. Basically is it worth the effort at 200 megs?? Thanks. John

The Global file is in case you do not have X-Tracks. Here is a translation of it. It is not to good on the translation my daughter helped me with it..Just ran the route for a few and so far I like it. Good scenery and Good frame rates..It also comes with some nice rolling stock and two steam engines... >>>It is very important to make backups of the directories who go away has to see affected by the installation of this route, I do not become person in charge of lost of data or the evils in general who you can suffer during and despues of the installation.This route has been generated using XTracks v36.If you use the same superior version or saltate the step 1º, in opposite case it begins by.If you do not know what they are the XTracks it is very possible that you do not have them installed.One assumes that you must know like this had arbol MSTS directories, \\Train Simulator \GLOBAL \SHAPES \TEXTURES \TUTOR \ROUTES \ \TRAINS \CONSISTS \TRAINSETthese are basicamente going to be those that receive modifications, totals or partisans. 1º Renombrar the directory \Train Simulator \GLOBAL like \Train Simulator \GLOBALORIGINAL or the name that your you want to give him, they ten in account that if something goes bad and not it beams tendras that to reinstalar MSTS again, and that can not gustarte. Once renonbrado it decompresses GLOBAL.zip in the directory \ \Train Simulator, sides that you again have a called directory GLOBAL, and that is good.2º Descomprime to cooper.zip within the directory \ \Train Simulator \ROUTES.3º Decomprime trains.zip within the directory \ \Train Simulator \.That is everything, dificil. Cradle in the missing line, (1911-1938), that cubria the passage between the mining complex of Kennecott, (61.4856°N, 142.8902°W (WGS84/NAD83)), and the port of Cordova, (60.5560°N, 145.7587°W (WGS84/NAD83)), Alaska. The distance of the route was 196 miles that come to be few meters but that 315 kilometros, we are not going to be very exact.The land on which discurria was, and it is, of the pretty things but that can be seen, part of belongs to the Wrangell-St park. Elias National Park, http://www.nps.gov/wrst/ , and it leaves to the Chugach National Forest, http://www.fs.fed.U.S.r10/chugach/ , although the one that is pretty does not mean that he is "facil" and except was it,with the means of which disponia in epoca, during its construction and maintenance. For pasaros topograficas references podeis by: http://www.topozone.com and at all the levels the person who but possibly knows on this railroad this in: http://members.tripod.com/~Blackburn49/index.HTML, it is necessary to recognize that it has made a very good work. If quereis but information podeis to find in the Network, from official paginas of administration the USA to individuals, passing by universities, of course, and tourism agencies.This route has been testeada in 6 different computers and it has not given problems.If questions by the configuration minima of hardware.... you do not install the route. You must have the MSTS installed to the complete one. It has been created in a maquina with 512 megas of ram, a "clonica" Nvidia of teoricas 32 megas and a processor AMD Athlon XP2000 with the 98SE of system. And a "supermouse" able to plant three million pines.<<<

according to route-riter, it's missing 2 files - cooper.rdb and cooper.rit. I've opened the .zip twice and they're not there... Tim Baldwin Buffalo NYMilepost 5 on the Buffalo Belt Line CSX - NS - CP - CN
I do not know anything about missing files or route-riter. I downloaded it and installed it with no problems and ran from end to end with no problem. This is a nice route for computers like mine that can not handle the high detail-low frame routes on some routes I have downloaded...

Thank you All for your information. That's all I need. It's a Yes download for me. At least when I can get over to my son's house and borrow his broadband for a short while. Thanks again. John

First of all... LOL @ Mike! Hehehehe. Touche.I also was wondering about the Global zip. And even though I speak Spanish, I completely missed the boat on it, thanks for the heads up.This route does capture the vast feeling of Alaska doesn't it? I like the sparseness of the scenery, but its nicely done when you get to it. The terrain elevation is superb, I think, but it does make it difficult to run "less powerful" stuff on it.I think it's a winner. Nice route.
If it's anything like the real Copper River and Northwestern it should be a great route... even if the real name got lost in translation:"Although only 195 miles long, the CR&NW was an engineering marvel. On a scale similar to the later Alaska Highway and Trans-Alaska Pipeline, the project took a peak crew of 6,000 men nearly five years to complete and cost the then staggering sum of $23,500,000. To overcome the valley’s precipitous terrain, the CR&NW elevated much of its track, placing about 15 percent on either bridges or trestles. While many such structures still stand, three are especially striking monuments to the skill of their builders."Details at http://crm.cr.nps.gov/archive/22-10/22-10-13.pdf
