IT sounds like you may have downloaded a DEM route map, a route that has all the elevations finnished and has lines so that you the downloader can create the route for the map, different color lines mean different transportation systems, ie roads vs tracks.....

To further clarify, any kuid authored by fishlipsatwork (59012) will be a terrain only route with ground elevations and track, road and river position lines.

Have at it, and make a nice mountainous route for us.

These great routes by Paul Haglund (Fishlipsatwork), are the basis of a lot of prototype based routes we have on the DLS.

I have used more than a few of them when working on my fictional route. The terrain is realistic, and the route following the terrain is plausible. The fact that the terrain is already there save quite a bit of time for landscaping and track laying, which can be very time consuming.

You can take these terrains, and even add in routes where they don't exist. I did thiat on mine. On the Bangor to Bucksport (Bangor, ME blank terrain), I built part of the route similar to the real thing, but added in some missing branches, which have been abandoned, and then added in a new one to a city that doesn't have rail service to the center in real life.

On my route, I renamed Bangor to Bristol, and Bucksport to Plymouth, after the two namesake cities in northern New Hamphire. The city that never had service is now Sandy Point instead of Winterhaven, Maine. In and around Bristol, is the South Bristol Industrial Railway, this is the abandoned Bangor International Airport branch, that hasn't seen service in quite a few years. I didn't put the airport in, but instead put in a large industrial park, housing developments, and a lake. The old SBIR was once a trolley line, and the substation still exists near the lake.

I could go on, but this is to give you an idea of what to do with the great work that Paul did for us.

This Is Good But

This is all good but what do all the colours meane?

In most cases, if you have a look at it in minimap mode, you should be able to work it out as it will generally look like what you'd expect from a survey map.

Red is normally roads/trails, light blue should be railway lines and dark blue should be the boundaries of waterways.

Cheers,

Tiger Lines:
Red = Roads, Big line = big road, small line = small road
Blue = Rivers, Shorelines
Black = Political Boundaries, (counties etc.)
Teal = Rail lines
Light green = Small streams
