It appears to be a "Train Simulator" similar to Microsoft's "Flight Simulator." I have the latter and it got kinda boring. Plus I can't "safely" land a plane to save my soul (but I have successfully flown under the golden Gate Bridge).

Today I picked up, for a mere $4.90 at Staples, a CD called Lionel Traintown, and it is very cute. It has multiple trains on complex tracks, with switching yards stations, and freight terminals. Its not a realistic simulation, for it also has things like dinosaurs and flying saucers that beam up cows from the stockyards. But you still have to think your way around the tracks to avoid collisions and get passengers and goods where they need to go. I'm having great fun for under five bucks!
