You can take to the rails by operating one of many trains available in this simulation game.
This is one of the better simulation games available. The graphics of the trains bring you into the hub of what it takes to operate each vehicle. Sounds in the game are realistic, giving you an idea as to what you might hear if you were operating a train on the tracks. There aren't really any menus in the game as there aren't a lot of design options. However, you can choose the kind of train you want from the dozen or so that are available. When you're on the tracks, you will see the beautiful scenery as it slowly goes by and see the weather change as well. It might be snowing one minute or raining the next.
Some of the trains that you can choose from are older, giving you an idea of what it was like to ride the rails decades ago while many are newer models that have a bit more speed. You do have to learn the controls of the game as they are how you maneuver and stop the train on the tracks. You can change the controls to better suit how you feel with the keyboard. There are a few missions that you can complete, such as delivering products to a destination within a certain time frame. There are over 70 routes that you can travel on that allow you to see many parts of the world.
