Multiple view options add some fun to the game also, you can cruise around in the scenery (SLEW) as we call it in the industry. The sound in the game is also very well done, strong and powerful sounding engines and clear train track 'clikety clack'. Even animated trucks dumping wheat at the silo. If you are loading wheat into your train cars, you can see the top doors open and the wheat fill the cars.
Most importantly (EVERYTHING WORKS)! The track switches are marked with red and green arrows in front of the train's progress, a mouse click triggers the switch for the desired direction. In the industrial scenario there is even an airport with a few airplanes flying around and landing on the airport runway. Plenty of scenery: Buildings, rail stations, water, trees, smoke stacks with real smoke rising into the air. Menus are straight forward, and navigation is easy.
