a DOS prograqm called "railroad"

[Paul Johnson]

Does anyone remember a floppy disk DOS freeware program called simply
"railroad" possibly from around 1990. It was a simplistic set of tracks and
a representation of a train . It had switchpoints and more than one train
could be run at any one time. Speed and direction could also be controlled.
In those early days it was quite fascinating to run the different
configurations. There were no collisions - if two trains were on the same
line and got too close the train would simply stop running. I would like a
copy again to see if it will run on win 98 in DOS of course. Anyone know
where I can get a copy?

I remember it, and may have had it. Had picture of a choo-choo on the
floppy label.

But ... think you will get a much larger charge out of CA Train... which
will
indeed work well on your Windows 98 .. and even XP.

Oh wow,
Way cool.
Use to play the old program before.

Funny how the old simple games could be so fun.
I might go break out the Atari and play some flight sim 3.0 next.
