Microsoft will be releasing a product called "Train Simulator" in the spring
of 2001.
Here is some more information with a link to slew of screenshots -

Featured prominently in some of the shots is the Amtrak Acela.
It will be interesting to see if you can add your own trains and scenery

want to take some of Lego MOCs in this group for a spin through the
simulator.
