The RW route format is functionally equivalent to the CSV route format, but differs in syntax, structure and choice of words.
There is no full documentation on RW routes, only the quick reference which illustrates the available commands and syntax:
Please refer to the documentation for CSV routes for the behavior of the various commands, but mind that choice of words and syntax differ in CSV. You can also compare against the quick reference for CSV routes to work out the differences between the formats.
Behavioral differences between CSV and RW
In RW, every piece of text before the first [Section] is considered part of the route description, which is Route.Comment in CSV.
In RW, the default @Height at the beginning of the route is 0.3 meters, while in CSV, the default Track.Height is 0.0 meters. Additionally, every value passed to @Height is added an additional 0.3 meters in RW.
In RW, the second argument to @Form can take special values: -9 is the same as L, 9 is the same as R, and 9X references rail 9. In CSV, -9 is invalid and 9 references rail 9.
In RW, the argument separator is a comma.
In RW, the semi-colon is used as a comment deliminator. If Hacks are active, anything on a line after a semi-colon will be discarded. If Hacks are inactive, any contents of an expression after a semi-colon will be discarded. Please see the following errata note…
