A train simulator (also railroad simulator or railway simulator) is a computer-based simulation of rail transport operations. They are generally large complicated software packages modeling a 3D virtual reality world implemented both as commercial trainers, and consumer computer game software with 'play modes' which lets the user interact by stepping inside the virtual world.
The Stourbridge Lion was an early railroad steam locomotive.In 1829 it was the first locomotive to be operated in the United States, although foreign-built, [2] and one of the first locomotives to operate outside Britain.
The USRA Heavy Mikado was a USRA standard class of steam locomotive designed under the control of the United States Railroad Administration (USRA), the nationalized railroad system in the United States during World War I. These locomotives were of 2-8-2 wheel arrangement in the Whyte notation, or 1′D1′ in UIC classification.
During the 1980s, with a spike in oil prices, Rowland was instrumental in forming American Coal Enterprises, an organization dedicated to the design and production of modern, coal-fired, reciprocating, direct-drive steam locomotives designed to reduce or eliminate operational concerns associated with steam locomotives and to operate with enough efficiency to be economically viable to railroads ...
Trainz is a series of 3D train simulator video games.The Australian studio Auran (since 2007 N3V Games) released the first game in 2001.. The simulators consist of route and session editors called Surveyor, and a Driver module that loads a route and lets the player operate and watch the trains run in either "DCC" mode, which simulates a bare-bones Digital Command Control (DCC) system for the ...
The DeWitt Clinton of the Mohawk and Hudson Railroad (M&H) was an American steam locomotive and the first working steam locomotive built for service in New York state.. The locomotive was built in 1831 and began operations the same year.
However, many remained in service until the final years of steam operation in Japan. During the 1960s and 1970s, they were particularly prominent on steeply graded lines such as the Sekihoku Main Line , Tōhoku Main Line , Ōu Main Line , and Hakubi Line , often operating in double- or triple-headed configurations.
In the early 1970s, Jensen was running into some financial trouble, due to legal issues with the C&WI and a loss of access to nearby railroads, and he lost all motivation to operate steam excursions. No. 5629 would be stored in Penn Central's yard outside of Chicago Union Station, until Jensen searched for another location to store the locomotive.
