A few years ago, I had a train simulation game that had a train length counter in the cab. If the consist was 4,000 feet, when entering a speed zone, especially a higher speed, the counter would be pushed so the engineer would know when the end of the train entered the zone 4,000 feet of travel later, and the new speed could be applied. Real-life? Some cabs and not others? (I'm thinking diesel power at some point in time.) Why I ask is that now I have TrainSimulator 2014 (upgrade to TS 2015 coming on 9/18), and have yet to see this in a cab. Folks are continually bashing the developers over inaccuracies, but I'm not a railroad insider. Thanks!
