# Comment : Anyone who's seen the film "Stand By Me" or heard the
expression "More powerful than a locomotive" knows about the respect
trains deserve. If
you think about it, the phrase used to describe the comic-book hero,
Superman, stands as a testament to the strength and formidability of the
fabled steel and iron beasts that helped modernize the world. When
not being compared to superheroes, trains are also a hobby with a large
following, and have captivated generations of model-builders and
trainspotting enthusiasts worldwide. Now,
for the first time, the publishing company known for its realistic
flight simulations caters to these fans with the release of Microsoft
Train Simulator, a game with the detail and complexity for which many
train devotees have been waiting. Train Simulator, developed by the U.K. based Kuju Entertainment, gives anyone with even the smallest interest
in iron horses the ability to drive one of nine powerful locomotives;
ride as a passenger along six detailed, real-world locations, and design
custom-built tracks, routes, and driving scenarios.
The
nine rail cars in Train Simulator fall under three category types that
follow the evolution of locomotion, and each cab has its own unique
controls and complexities. Among
the steam-powered trains are the legendary 4472 LNER Flying Scotsman
from England and the Gölsdorf 380 , a train famous for its travels along
the Orient Express, which ran from Innsbruck to St. Anton. The
diesel-powered trains include the freight-bearing General Electric Dash
9 , the General Motors GP38- 2 , and the Japanese passenger car KIHA 31
. Covering
the electric train category are the Odakyu 2000 and 7000 LSE passenger
locomotives, as well as the new Amtrak HHP- 8 and Acela Express, both of
which are bullet trains capable of going up to 135 and 165 mph,
respectively. Each locomotive has been licensed for full inclusion in the game,
complete with their authentic markings and unique color schemes.
In
addition to its authentic trains and textures, Train Simulator offers
six different, highly detailed travel routes spanning four countries and
covering over 600 miles. In
the US, players can haul freight through the 152 -mile Marias Pass in
Montana, or shuttle passengers along a 133 -mile portion of the
Northeast Corridor between Philadelphia and Washington DC In
the Japanese locations, would-be engineers can travel through a portion
of the bustling Odawara Line from Tokyo to Hakone, as well as drive
down the scenic Hisatsu Line. Finally,
the two steam engine trains find their natural surroundings in Europe,
with the Settle & Carlisle Line in Northwestern England, and the
Innsbruck-St. Anton route through the Austrian Alps.
