Did she derail the train or did she do fine

She actually did fine. She had her train up to 60 going into a curve at one point but was able to successfully slow the train to a stop without derailing it.

I will say one thing - that simulator gives me a far better appreciation of how long it takes to stop an actual train, as well as what it takes. I can also see where my railroading pals come from when they talk about the near misses, accidents and vehicles/trucks that they've hit (believe it or not, if an engineer thinks that that stalled tanker truck on the tracks has flammable liquids in it, they're gonna gun that throttle not close it, and bounce the trailer off rather than slow and be a flaming fireball on rails and potentially burn to death! ).

Wow

ALCO? Bah. EMD forever, I tell ya!

Okay, so I have a weakness for the Northern Pacific and their collection of EMD and ALCO. Even... U-boats.

I'm a B&O kinda guy, myself. Course, my great grandfather worked for them, so...

B&O? I always prefered the Reading Railroad myself, it has a chance card that send you to it.

I always loved buying those railroads...
