I've most definitely an operations fan. If a car in a train isn't going somewhere to make money for the railroad, it shouldn't be there. Trains that go in circles never really interested me. I prefer to be intellectually stimulated, something to take my mind off the real world. <br /> <br />I've found trains that are going somewhere to be more fun to watch, as I can figure out what cargo each car is carrying, and where it's headed. Plus, watching locals switch the industries is quite interesting, as the entire process is so realistic. I always get more fun out of hostling a locomotive out of the engine facility and hooking it up to a train in the yard, then bringing it somewhere to keep the locals going. Sure, it's more work, but I play with trains so that I can do something, not watch something. <br /> <br />But to everyone his own, as I always say.
