Str() found the problem; there were 2 blanks at the end of the name.
Why does this occur when I read in with trim.factor.names = TRUE ?

Subject: Re: [R] subset problem
Supply an 'str' of your dataframe so we can see what its structure is.
Do you have leading/trailing blanks in your ROUTE values. Print
them out and see what their number of characters (nchar) are. Are they
factors? You have not supplied enough information like a small subset. I bet
when you create a small subset that includes the ROUTE you are using in your
subset, you will see the problem especially if you use 'dput' to create it.
