Hahaha! Great picture.
I know A-Train from my DOS days in 1994. I also remember that I loved trains, but totally sucked at that game from the many many Game Over screens.
Since 2002, I'm an addict to Simutrans on Windows, which is similar to A-Train in the way of putting more emphasis on simulated economy than Railroad Tycoon. But it is not as hardcore economy wise as A-Train, it is more about getting passengers and goods from A to B over C with trains, trucks, ships, planes and even horses, depending on the historical year you start the game. But what it does, it does with deep passion.
