When you open trainz and select create new route you will be presented with a base board and a session. You can name the route and set up any of the instructions for the route.
In the layer selection tab highlight route and start to build your route. All your work will be saved in the route when you exit and a default session will also be saved. When you next open the route select the route from the list and select view all sessions. Highlight the session and open for edit, this will load the route and session as it was when you exited.
Lets build a steam train route with semaphore signals and a steam engine yard. Build all your route in the route layer except for semaphore signals and the engine yard. Select the session layer and now add the semaphore signals and build your steam engine yard. When you exit you will be asked to save both the route and session, click yes. When you next open the session for edit you will have the route with semaphore signals and engine yard.
Now lets highlight the route but select edit route instead of session. When the route opens you will find the semaphore signals and engine shed are not there and a new default session will have been created. Open the layer tab and highlight session. Now place modern day signals on the route and build a diesel depot in the space where the engine yard would have been. Now when you exit leave the route name the same but use a different session name. You might only be asked to save the session as you did not alter the route but use a different session name.
If you now select edit route no signals or depot/yard will show up. You need to edit session and select either the steam era or diesel era to bring back the signals and yard or depot. Any session with a date and time listed alongside the name can not be edited as this is a saved driver session and only allows you to return to driver at that point in time.
Session layer should be called the base layer to save confusion
