Yes, they have to.

E-mail Rick Gates if he doesn't respond to this topic in a reasonable time; there are at least a couple of forum participants with direct experience in this.

Sort -of related question...... How does Acela in Microsoft Train Simulator compare to the real thing? Was wandering if Microsoft did their homework or if it wasn't even close.
