I guess I should have been more specific. In my country, train drivers still have engineering degrees. Maybe not everywhere any more. Back in steam engine days the job was more difficult, and needed higher education than today. And train simulators reflect this, operating a steam locomotive is really difficult. Although the diesel electrics are hard, steam locos are a whole different game. I still haven't been able to complete a route without running into trouble with pressure, water levels, fire mass or fuel. Train sims are fun, challenging and entertaining. If you're into slower paced and more strategic gaming, give one of the train sims a go.
