On 20 September, JR East will release an official train simulator on Steam that allows train aficionados to experience a driver's work. The game is based on actual JR simulators used in driver training. It uses accurate recreations of the Hachikō Line between Takasaki and Kuragano Stations and the Keihin Tōhoku Line from Ōmiya to Urawa Stations. In the former, players control a KiHa 100 Series heading north; in the latter, they guide a southbound E233 Series train.

I had seen news about this already and am looking forward to trying it out. Such a cool thing to do, but I hope its affordable.
Maybe it will give them more candidates for train engineers (drivers).
 
I haven't been on a train since May, but I would love to try this on a simulation of my local JR line.

Wow that's crazy. Do you use your car a lot?
 
Work at home, bicycle, and car. Thanks to the pandemic.
 
I want to be able to drop different kinds of trains onto different tracks and speed-run the morning commute!
