Microsoft Train Simulator 2 is an unfinished continuation of the railway simulator issued in 2001. The project was developed twice in 2003-2004 and 2007-2009. After Microsoft's decision to liquidate the ACES development studio, work on the game was halted.

Detailed 3-D cabs, locomotives, and rolling stock, with real-world physics, functioning signals and switches, next-generation graphics, and 5.1 Surround Sound all provide a highly realistic experience. In Train Simulator 2 you’re at the controls of some of the most powerful machines ever built: from an ultra-modern high-speed intercity electric trainset, to a lash-up of diesels hauling intermodal freight, to a coal-fired steam locomotive.
Train Simulator 2 models most of the world’s rail corridors based on real-world track data. Innovative terrain modeling, and custom and automatically generated scenery objects combine to create a realistic experience on rails worldwide and a great starting point for building your own routes. Four high-accuracy routes in North America and Europe provide engaging and challenging real-world locomotive operations right out of the box.
The toolset included in the software development kit (SDK) lets s customize and extend the Train Simulator 2 experience and share their creations with other virtual railroading enthusiasts. The official Train Simulator 2 Web site, TSInsider.com, serves as a portal to the world of Train Simulator 2.
Animated engers in stations and on trains, and animated crew in locomotive cabs bring the world of Train Simulator 2 alive. AI trains add to the realistic railroad operations, and dynamic weather tests your skills. It’s the most immersive and satisfying railroad experience ever offered on the PC.
