Big Blue Ball

I thought I had followed the instructions correctly, however after creating a route template and generating a new route, all I got was a big blue ball.

Here is a cut and paste of most of the the route template using Context (Specifically the route name, Lat and Long, and Terrain entries:

Although I followed directions in my second attempt, I had missed the operation to right click and choose new route template on my first attempt. It appears that in my flailing around, I had corrupted my copy of C:\Program Files\Rail Simulator\Source\Developer\Addon\TemplateRoutes\Ro ute.xml

Having finally realized this, I uninstalled and reinstalled the developer tools, and all is OK now.
