Exellent train sim! For now is on rank #1!
Let's see:
1.Trains: There aren't many trains in the game. You can choose from 2 steam engines(Flying Scotsman, Golsdorf 380), 3 diesels(GP 38-2, Dash 9, Kiha 31), 4 electrics(Acela HH-P, Acela Express, Series 2000, Series 7000 LSE). I have downloaded 2 more diesels(SD 40-2, Class 50). Train consist can vary: there are trains with 50 cars(3 engines), 25 cars (2 engines), 10 cars(1 engine but some times are even more).
2.Routes: WOW! WOW! The routes are modeled very realistic and very beautiful. Here they are: Marias Pass, Northeast Corridor, Innsbruck-St. Anton, Settle & Carlisle Line, Tokyo-Hakone and Hisatsu Line.
3.Graphics: There are just gorgeous! This is the reason why you couldn't know this game was released in 2001.
4.Sound: Every engine sounds in different ways(like they should). Other sounds are excellent maked: cars, birds tweeting, rain ,snow etc.
5.Crashes: The game doesen't feature damage, sometimes trains pass trough buildings when they derail... The derail part is excellent and some of them are extreme.
Train Simulator: Buy it, play it, enjoy it!
If Train Simulator was so good, how will Train Simulator 2 be?
