« Minutes after playing RUNNING TRAIN, I uninstalled TSW6, kicked it down a flight of stairs, fed it to a pack of ravenous hyenas, gave it herpes and made it live with my mother-in-law. (I really did uninstall it tho’.) »

« This is the best train simulator you can buy. Better than any stupid TSW game ever made, simply lovely. The fact that this is a indie game, blows everything away, I can't wait for future updates. »

« Next gen Densha de Go with beautiful graphics, physics, sounds and Zuiki Mascon support on top of that. Do yourselves a favor and buy this if you are a Densha Otaku and/or railfan. »
