A cool railroad simulation game by Electronic Arts.
Rail Simulator is a different kind of simulator than what we're all used to, namely it doesn't simulate aircraft or spaceships, but instead it simulates conducting a train.
As with other simulation games in this league, you actually follow the real-life schedule of a train conductor by carrying passengers and cargo between different locations.
The graphics in Rail Simulator are rather impressive for the year it was produced and includes beautiful landscapes and locomotives which gives it a nice feeling of realism. You can choose between both electric and diesel engines.
The models and controls in this game are excellent.
