Trainz Railroad Simulator 2004
Summary
Trainz Railroad Simulator 2004 is about a lot more than driving trains -- it lets players operate their choice of Union Pacific and other locos, from the early days of steam through to modern high-speed electrics, under a variety of challenging conditions in real world scenarios. [Oteeva]

The product retains all the pluses, ease of use and beauty noted by my colleague reviewer a few years back, and a lot more. It's all here, the authenticity, controls, the dramatic vistas, and now there're products and passengers to give more substance to the experience of learning about, driving and collecting great engines and their rolling stock.

Even with its new dynamic industries, it lacks the depth to its game play to keep the attention of players expecting a challenging economic or building simulation.

This may be a fine simulation, but it is not entirely realistic – for example, hapless government ministers do not meddle, passenger trains are not cancelled because drivers pull sickies and no key routes grind to a standstill because of leaves on the line.
