Michael Hetherington: Stopping a Virtual Train

Michael Hetherington: Stopping a Virtual Train is another example of someone taking existing technology and using it for other purposes. In this article he describes how PI Engineering took their RailDriver, desktop cab controller, and evolved it into a training simulator that railroad employees could use and, at a much lower cost than custom-built simulators. Who would have thought that a Train simulator game, by Microsoft, could be modified and used to train new railroad employees? Apparently, Michael Hetherington, and PI Engineering.
