Is there any general rule about this? I'm working on a route that is supposed to go from Nisku AB to Red Deer AB which is around 80mls. At 2.5 baseboards that roughly make up a mile, you can imagine how many baseboards that equals to if you multiply 80 mls x 2.5 baseboards - - - and don't forget that's not including some extra baseboards to the left or to the right to give more scenery such as small and large hills. I prefer boonie or mountain lines than inside of cities.
I thought about stopping the line at half of 80 MLS as a turn around point for the road switchers. Then I would do the other half from an already established railyard I have in Red Deer. Would this be a better idea? I'm thinking about the time loading factor on the computer it would take to actually load the route. Not interested in waiting 20 minutes for a route to load thanks.

I would load one of the routes but it would be new as I would be new at making a route, so I'm not interested in becoming a filet mignon to the critics.
