MSTS does have the capability of views from inside a train, be it a 
caboose cupola, dome car upper level, caboose platform, observation car, 
etc. In the present version, only one 'passenger' view is available 
during the course of a run if an included car has a view available. 
Maybe version 2 (out this fall-winter) will allow movement from 
viewpoint to viewpoint. Some of the existing add-ons include a BN ( i 
know...) caboose from which you can basically do a 360° view. Riding 
this over Maria Pass in front of the Izaak Walton Inn at Essex and 
seeing the lodging cabooses on the hill is slick
