Ride the rails with "Train Simulator."
"Microsoft Train Simulator" is the company's rail-based equivalent to the popular "Flight Simulator" series. The game offers elements of the model train set, mixed with detailed simulation of various different train types and their controls and physical properties. An added feature of the title, not part of the main game but accessible from the "Start" menu, is the Route Editor, allowing players to map the path of their locomotive before stepping behind the controls.
