A simulation game for train enthusiasts

ArcRail Train Simulation is a neat simulation tool that lets you get behind the wheel of a train to complete missions.

During your ArcRail Train Simulation mission, you must follow the train signal system's directions. As the train conductor, this will let you control the train so you ultimately end up at the station you're supposed to in one piece.

A choice of scenery, as well as a map editor that lets ArcRail Train Simulation users construct their own train track, are some of the highlights of this program. Users can also choose between steering three different types of trains, including a diesel-automatic, a steam engine and a deisel-electric. The settings allow you to turn the realistic train sounds on and off at will, as well as choose your train of choice.

Unfortunately, ArcRail Train Simulation is a pretty rudimentary program, with terrible graphics and not much speed. Fans of simulation programs like Need for Speed Underground will likely be sorely disappointed.

The trial version of ArcRail Train Simulation only lets you run your train for 20 kilometers (about 12 miles) before requiring you to purchase a license code.

For hardcore train enthusiasts, ArcRail Train Simulation might be a fun adventure. For everyone else, it gets dull really quickly.

ArcRail Train Simulation software program is a game application that allows the user to simulate driving a train. The mission is to drive the train from one station to another.

During the excursion, the train engineer must follow the directives of the signal system and control the train so that it makes it to the end station safely.

There are many different sceneries that can be chosen. Along with the many types of scenery, there is a map editor that allows the user to create their own track.

In addition, ArcRail Train Simulation software program allows the user to choose from three different kinds of locomotives: Diesel-Automatic, Steam, and Diesel-Electric.

A sound generator has been upgraded to ensure realistic train sounds. The ArcRail Train Simulation software program is compatible with Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows XP and Windows 2000.

This application is a good option for those that enjoy trains and designing. With its easy to use interface, any skill level will find this software program enjoyable.
