This is where multiple backups are important. Everything was working last night but when i tried to work on the route today, it had the dreaded track database error. So i restored the files from my last working backup.....but no....then train sim crashed with the sending error to microsoft error . Went to backup prior to that...same story.I thought i had lost all my work. However, i uninstalled train sim completely, then deleted the folders remaining and did a complete reinstall. Then restored the files from my last backup.and like magic i was back in business. guess the motto is....when you think you have lost your route....dont give up.....try a few things...... and as always make backups. I would have been heart broken if my backups were corrupt as well
