Microsoft Train Simulator

In Spring 2001, Microsoft will have a train simulator ready for us. This is the perfect chance for all of you who always dream about running your very own train. If they include terrorists that take over the train and you have to pull out your trusty 9mm to show them who runs the train, I just might have to do some simulating myself.It touches people in many different ways. For some it is a simple awe-inspiring respect they feel when they stand near a rail crossing and feel the earth shake as tons of steel rumble by at over 60 mph. For others it is an historical connection, tying them to a place or an era that the railroads helped birth and shape. Still others marvel at the engineering systems of such machines. And finally, many people are drawn to the romance of the rails -- a way of travel that keeps them close to the earth while sending them to far-away places. |
