NXSYS Subway Simulator
NXSYS is an application for modern versions of Microsoft® Windows® that recreates for you the experience of controlling switches, signals, and trains in the New York City Subway system. Rather than conventional menus and toolbars, NXSYS presents to you the exact same user interface as so-called "Entrance-Exit" "pushbutton interlockings" present to New York City subway towerpersons, except that instead of pressing buttons with your finger, you click with the mouse. And instead of commanding real trains full of people, NXSYS simulates them cybernetically. You see the same display, get the same options and responses, must learn the same skills, and may enjoy the same pleasures as a towerperson at an "entrance-exit" interlocking.
There is no more comprehensive, detailed information source on New York Subway Signalling publicly available, or perhaps even to insiders. This is THE way to learn about New York City Subway signalling. And it's for free, fun, interactive, extensible, and assumes no prior knowledge. (If you wish to learn about NY City signalling right now on the web, and aren't interested in trying NXSYS, or don't have a Windows® machine, please visit http://www.nycsubway.org/signals/, written by the author of this program and its documentation.)

SIAM Railway Simulations
SIAM Railway Simulations -
Experience the challenge of railway operation in the comfort of your
own home.
Based on extensive research, these games give the genuine flavour of the problems and challenges of running a railway. Authentic track plans, motive power and schedules for the location and period are used, in some cases with additional workings to add interest. To avoid any possible disappointment, please note that these are not "arcade" games, but realistic simulations. Graphic screen modes are not used in most cases, and the emphasis is on providing you with sufficient information to make the right decisions.
