Example world-origin container

This example is from the well known TRS2004 'Tidewater Point Railroad' Map by TrainzProRoutes distributed with TRS2006 as Tidewater South and Tidewater North. The location is somewhat north and west of Washington, D.C. in the USA. Note the sign multiplier in the western Hemisphere is "-1" indicating west rotation. (Western Hemisphere)
