Rail World For Linux

Rail World project is a 2-D train simulation game.

Rail World is a railroad train simulation game designed to bring the features of model railroading to the desktop using actual aerial or satellite photographs as the backdrop for maps.

You can control multiple trains, switches, load/unload cargo, and more.

Here are some key features of "Rail World":

� Use actual aerial photographs or satellite images as the basis for maps. � Manage multiple trains as a conductor. � Drive trains using throttle and brake as an engineer. � Grapple with realistic physics, including stopping distance and collisions. � Set switches and specific train routing. � Load and unload cargo.

Requirements:

� Java 1.5
