Railroad simulation games.
Railroad simulation allow to to control a train in some way. Some will let you opperate a train. Others will let you control the opperations of a virtual railroad. You will find free, share ware, and commercial programs.
You will also find add-ons to all of these types of programs.
Fan sites for trail simulators will be found here as well.

The program simulates the thermodynamics of a steam locomotive, including the engine, boiler, and all major controls. It allows the user to "drive" a simulated locomotive over a nominated route. www.battewell.freeserve.co.uk
Rated 8/10 by Rick Robson. "A red hot and steamy train sim that's on the right track. Challenging and tricky, though less than startling graphically." www.ysrnry.co.uk/articles/eveningstar.htm
