Searchlight Simulations has spent the last five years committed to researching every nut and bolt of the AC4400CW, as well as ensuring the operational practices used by Canadian Pacific were well documented within reason. In those five years we went from just a programmer/3D artist/texture artist, audio engineer, and R&D man, to a team of eight. All people with goals aligned to recreate an immersive experience. This project is the accumulation of all our dreams, and we hope that it shows. After ten thousands of hours of work, thousands of pictures taken, and hundreds of sounds recorded from the prototype, months of scripting, trouble shooting, and many stressful nights, we can finally deliver you the ultimate AC4400CW experience.

Microsoft Train Simulator (MSTS) was released for Windows personal computers in 18 Jun 2001. MSTS is one of the oldest contemporary train simulators that still maintains an online presence. While a bit archaic today, it laid the foundation for the modern train simulators we have today like Trainz Railroad Simulator, Train Simulator, and Train Sim World. MSTS was the first train simulator to make use of a free roaming play style offering activities for players ranging from picking up and dropping off freight and passengers along with switching operations. However, did you know there was a sequel planned for MSTS? Simply known as Train Simulator 2, MSTS2 was set to improve upon what MSTS started and provide a modernized and high detail train simulation experience. The question remains though, why did Microsoft's Train Simulator 2 never release? - 31 May 2022.
