One of the more frustrating things I encounter with TSRE is that after I have CAREFULLY laid a mile or so of track, I go back and there is some discontinuity in the track. This also happened using MSTS/RE but it seems to be more frequent or easily done in TSRE. Since I don't have much hair left and I would like to keep what I have as long as I can, I thought about ways to help with this. So here is my rule: After laying no more than 1 mile of track, less if there are frequent curves, I save & exit TSRE. Then I start ORTS and select the Track Viewer Tool. I then select the route. Now once I have selected the route, in future checks I only need to use the "reload" function unless I have opened some other route. Then I go to the path function and select "New Path". Since it will be temporary, I don't need to fill in any of the blanks on the path window, just select "OK". Now place the start point at the end of your work and if necessary reverse the path directioin. Then follow the line of the path as far as at least the location of your last check and if the little bubble stop moving, you have a break, and they can be so small as to not be visible unless a blue pole is at the location.
Caveat: The coordinates shown for the location on the Track Viewer seem to have no relationship to the coordinates in TSRE but at least you can jump to the indicated point and be within a large ball park of the error. Since a blue pole is usually visible, just find the spot and the worst case is that you will have to reset all the track pieces from there to the end of track and to keep that reasonable, I suggest checking at roughly 1 mile intervals. It is also helpful to jump to the affected world area rather than to a specific coordinate and you can read the world file values in Track Viewer too.
Then close Track Viewer and ORTS and go back to editing.
