The second section, on the other hand, allows you to take on the role of an engine driver and drive trains on European routes. The game focuses on realism. The player must pay attention to speed limits, signs and signals. It is also necessary to stop the train so that it fits within the edge of the platform. Additionally, each machine has its own unique parameters, which influence the speed of acceleration and braking distance.
