21 years ago today in 2001, Microsoft Train Simulator, commonly known as MSTS, released for Windows PC. MSTS is one of the oldest contemporary train simulators that still maintains an online presence. While a bit archaic today, it laid the foundation for the modern train simulators we have today like Trainz Railroad Simulator, Train Simulator, and Train Sim World. MSTS was the first train simulator to make use of a free roaming playstyle offering activities for players ranging from picking up and dropping off freight and passengers along with switching operations. However, did you know there was a sequel planned for MSTS? Simply known as Train Simulator 2, TS2 was set to improve upon what MSTS started and provide a modernized and high detail train simulation experience. The question remains though, why did Microsoft's Train Simulator 2 never release?
