LOCOMOTIVE AND TRAIN SIMULATOR

Locomotive and train simulator is described which is a combination of advanced simulator technology that results in an effective training technique for developing the skills required by a locomotive engineman. The locomotive cab environment and forward view are simulated with a high degree of fidelity. The digital computer system provides the required synchronization, and allows wide parameter variation in the characteristics of the simulated train.
