Use "Edit" in the main menu, then select the scenario and edit the scenario.
Once in the editor, find the consist (probably the trickiest part), then select one or two cars from the end of the consist and delete them.
Save and quit.

Before removing a car from the consist, have you pulled as close to the siding signal as possible? I've seen this IRL when the headend has to practically stop just before crossing over the IJ's (insulated joints) that trigger the siding signal.

I tried a lot of things but had the same problem, so the best solution is to remove a car, so I ask that question, is it possible to go to the content file and after inside the route folder and from there to find the route...Feather River Canyon Enhanced and after to go inside the Scenarios, find the good one and fix the problem for ever in there...

Thanks

If you have removed a car or two within the scenario editor and saved as you returned to Drive then that scenario will be forever changed (unless you reload the original again). One way to make certain is to save a clone of the original scenario and alter that one, leaving the original as is.

Another possibility is to use TS Tools - brilliant utility.

... for ever ?
If the scenario originates from Steam, Steam will recognize it as modified the next time it checks and reset it.
Therefore: Either make a backup (a zip file of the folder under Railworks\Content\Routes\{route-number}\Senarios\{scenario} is sufficient) or create a copy in the TS scenario editor and then edit it.

Clone the scenario and then edit the clone, that way it cannot be "refreshed" by Steam i.e reverting to the original.

Go to the editor (Build) find the route on the left side then click on clone at the bottom left.

You can name it what you want...e.g. "The one with the shorter consist" :D

Go to the top of the TS Tools scren and clik on "Route Building Tools" then on "Extract Route Porperties.xml". Let it run (takes a little time,just wait. When it has completed, it will tell you then exit TS Tools, then re-enter and the route should be in the table. TS Tools needs to be told to look for it otherwise it would take forever every time you entered the program.
