Other games may look better, but then they're not trying to model over six hundred miles of landscape at near-ground level. Whether sticking one's head out of the cab of the Flying Scotsman or sitting quietly in a passenger car and watching the Northeast Corridor slip by, Train Simulator delivers impressive, if not stunning graphics. All of these routes can be run in all seasons, in all weather, day or night.Īnd all these routes look good enough to sustain the illusion that one really is operating a train rather than manipulating a simulation.

In the game you will find also the railway routes from North America.
