Zusammenfassung:	A portable train simulator, including a microprocessor, a display and an inp ut device for the microprocessor. A first program drives the display to depict indicia of a control stand and to respond to control inputs from the input device. A second program drives the display to depict a track to be traversed from a data fil e in response to the control inputs. A virtual control stand is one of the elemen ts that allows the true portability of a train simulator. The system can display and switch between the present operating parameters of the train and/or a history of th e operating parameters of the train, as selected by the input device. Thus, the system c an switch from playback mode to simulation mode to provide a take-over of recorded conditions to allow an operator to explore alternate methods for managing the train.
