Version- 1.0 beta, released June 3, 2003.

Installation method- Route is packed as three zips. Creat a folder named "Watertown" in your route folder and unzip the files into it. Before starting MSTS delete the contents of the services and activities folders. I neglected to do this before running Route Riter.

Prototype based route.

Level of trackside detail- Some areas fairly complete, others have little or none.
Amount of scenery completed-40%
FPS specs-Low of 8-9 in a couple areas with a TNT2 graphics card.
Activities provided-None unless you have the 1948 Olympian Hiawatha. As mentioned you should clear out the services and activities folders before running this. You will need to create an activity for this route UNLESS you have the Oly Hi.
