Hi Kids,
There is a lot out there right now. Go to train-sim.com for a start. I see

Thais is also a CZ with appropriate locomotives for CBQ, DRGW and WP.
There is a lot out there. I've been using the MS Train Simulator since the
first day it was released. Train Sim II is due out this fall and will be
even better.
