Advantages: Surprisingly fun; puts you in the driving seat of a train...

Disadvantages: Tedious

Train Simulator is a game released in 2002 by Microsoft for PC which enables the player to take control of his/her favourite trains. Much detail has been put into the control of the trains as small tasks such as the rising and retraction of the pantograph. It has many different scenarios and also includes themed rides, for example in one particular "mission" you are required to transport the a member of the royal family to Innsbruck, and in another you are pushed to keep the tight schedule of the Japanese Commuter line.

In each area, one is able to see beautiful countryside, for example the metropolitan area surrounding the Japanese line, and the Austrian line which passes mountains and forests.
The game includes big names in the rail industry, Amtrak being one. Leisurely rides can also be taken and it is often fun to see how fast you can go wround corners without derailing!

Summary: Not too bad for a while
