Had the same issue in Niles Canyon, I ended up making an executive decision and model the terrain a bit, and use the decal more as a guide than the rule. The bottom line was that I was only adjusting grades and the line about 1-3 feet, and when running the train through the canyon it looked the same as in real life (the family rides the canyon a few times a year, and we drive through it every other weekend).

Yeah the good thing is that I have official trackcharts, that helps me a lot to lay the tracks correct (when it comes to gradient).

Sadly I don't have the maps for my area. I am having to regrade using averages, or laying the track in the longest sections I can, grade the track so it balances out, and then snap the ground to the track. I tend to use the later approach more.

Had the same problem:http://railworksamerica.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1697

Devren told me what to do. You must delete the initialsave bin file in the route's scenario folder.
