You may encounter the route crashing immediately after an update. This is due to the workshop not fully synchronizing the files inside the Bergen Line. To resolve, simply delete the contents of the Route Folder and restart Train Simulator or even better, restart you computer. When you logon to steam again, a new copy of the route will download.

This is the path to the route folder for the New York Division - Bergen Line:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\railworks\Content\Routes\19b667f7-2759-49e0-93d8-4dadc470bceb


PONtrack.bin: If your copy of the Bergen crashes in all modes when loading - follow the instructions below. Part 1 is a test to see if you have the Pontrack.bin file and Part 2 is removal.

Running Railworks with LogMate enabled (start logmate.exe in the Railworks folder, then start Railworks) shows the following errors in the log:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Trace cBlueprintLibrary.cpp : 392 = Blueprint set not found : Kuju, RailSimulatorCore
Trace cBlueprintLibrary.cpp : 423 = Blueprint set not found for: Cameras\EditCamera001.xml
cBlueprintSet::loadFile Failed to load blueprint: RailNetwork\TrackRules\PONtrack.bin
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The first two messages are just warnings. The cause for the crash is the 3rd line: Failed to load blueprint: RailNetwork\TrackRules\PONtrack.bin

PONtrack.bin is a track rule file for Jim Ward's Port Ogden To Chicago route. For some reason, a corrupted version of this file exists in several railworks folders.
The solution is to delete all occurences of this file by following these instructions:

1- In Windows explorer, go to your Railworks folder.
2- Shift-Right-click on the folder and select "Open a command window here"
3- In the command (black) window, type this:
del /S PONtrack.bin

Note: that's a capital "O", not a zero.


It will find and delete all occurrences of this file and you should be all set.
