Metro North or Cape Cod?.

Test the route with Route_Riter TsUtils [ICHK] test and you will have an idea of what the bug is about without guessing.
Is it really possible you thought DLC in the file library was tested? Lesson: It probably was NOT!

It's the MNCR route.

I seem to recall there being an issue with a couple of missing shape files in the 'out of the box' edition of the route, and a patch having been issued by the author within a day or two of original release/upload to the file library. Once the missing shape patch was loaded, all was well with the route, but I was running MSTS not OR - just fyi.

Hard to say if that missing shape issue is even related to your difficulty, but as has been suggested - RouteRiter is a logical place to start diagnosing the problem.

It's the MNCR route.

I have started this route from both ends and cannot cause the missing node error to occur. From memory this is usually caused by using the wrong tsection.dat file with the route. I think the installer puts its own tsection in place because the one I have in the MN mini install is not the one I normally use. It has no version information in it.
