Someone has mentioned that at Elvas tower. Apparently, this is a "shortened" version of the route, but I don't know if it's shortened version of Scenic Sub 1.0 or 2.0.
I've only glanced at it, but the route itself might be based on Scenic Sub 1.0, as the terrtex is not the Mosaic version found on 2.0. There are only 2 locomotives included (ES44AC numbers 5817 & 5852), but they appear to be the newer variety from the Scenic Sub 2.0 locomotive upgrade (those originally designed for MSTS2).
A starter route is something that a new ORTS user who didn't know anything else existed could use. There's been a UK route available for this with the ORTS distributables, and this adds a North America route to increase the potential audience.
The BNSF Scenic Route is a starter route for those looking to explore the world of Open Rails. This package is a complete route with locomotives, rolling stock, and activities to get you started. If you do not have Open Rails installed, it is included with this software and will installed at the same time.
It's a great way to get someone new to ORTS up and running.
If you like what you see here at Trainsim.com, be it the discussions and knowledge in the forums, or items available in our library, I hope you'll consider a paid membership to help support keeping the site operating.... Thanks!
At least someone is attempting to grow the franchise. More should be done by the other vendors, too, at least the ones who aren't spiraling into a closed club decline.
Besides, how frequent do new people find a free route that is self contained - route, rolling stock and activities all set to go?
5000 amateur junkskins that require shape file hacks and replacement sound aliasing and freeware routes that lack basic paths and activities for version 2.1 that are unplayable on version 2.2 of such-n-such route and this version not that version of Tsection being required (i.e. this site in its heyday) doesn't seem to be doing that much anymore to add to the headcount.

Can i get a link to that post? If you can find it that this.
I've checked briefly the Track Viewer for both the Starter and Scenic 2.0 - all the track in Scenic 2.0 is present in the Starter. The engines seem to be the same.
Overall, a good move I'd say....but I already have it!
A good sample of what they have to offer (test out the sounds, cab, shape, and textures - see the quality). It appears to be the same loco included in Scenic 2.0
