'Routes' file location and backing up?

LadyWind

Trainz POW MIA
If I am going to re-load my computer, but I want to save any routes I created, where are those route files located? Is it reasonable to expect that if I make a copy of the file, that I can simply drag the route file back into the folder and expect it to work after i re-load the game?
 
From the opening screen choose 'Content' to open CM3.

In CM3 select the 'My Content' tab. Find the route in the main window and highlight it.

Method 1: Right click and choose 'Save to CDP'. This creates a compressed saved version of the route to the desktop (or wherever) which can be re-installed at any time.

Method 2: If you don't trust cdp's (no real reason not to, but I am just a bit paranoid!) Hit Ctrl+Shift+E. This will open a new Explorer window. Copy the route folder from the window to the desktop. Close the window. Making sure the route is still highlighted in the CM3 list, hit Ctrl+M. You now have the route still in TS2010 and an uncompressed back-up copy on the desktop which can also be re-installed any time...

Andys methods will work for the route only. If the route uses only built-in dependencies then no problem however...
If you want the route and all the dependencies you downloaded for it open the pick box on the left.
Drag the route to the pick box.
Right click the route in the pick box and select add dependencies.
Right click and select all.
Repeat until no more dependencies can be selected.
Right click and select show in main list.
Set your filter to built in= false.
Right click in main list and select all.
Right click and select save to cdp.
Give it a name of your choice and location.
Depending on the amount of assets it may take some time to create the cdp.
Done!
