I guess I wasn’t aware that trains had pilots, nonetheless autopilots?

No they do not. No such things when it comes to trains

Pilots actually DO exist for railroads. They are usually used when a foreign railroad crew is running over a foreign line. They pretty much act as advisers. When the 4449 and the 844 double headed up here in Washington State my father was the BNSF pilot for both crews.

getting a "pilot" job off the extra board was great!

Hi

thanks for answering my question, "Autopilot" is a non generic term and IMHO it is self explanatory,
and both MSTS and Open Rails have that feature.

Oh you mean the Autopilot feature where you can sit back and let the sim run the scenario and you just watch the action? I'm thinking they did this with the railfan mode. There might be a way to do it with the scenario tools but the camera doesn't follow the train. You just fly around and have to follow it manually.

Hi

yes, that's it, I look it up and see what I get.

most likely it's a "Freeroam" scenario type thing

Okay, thanks, I'll check it out.
