You are about to embark on an exploratory tour, by train, around Murchison County to help you familiarise yourself with the area. You can either sit back and allow the Driver Assistant to do the driving for you. (stopping briefly at each of the stations along the way for passengers to board or disembark.)
OR
You can stop the automated tour by hovering your mouse pointer over the bottom screen bar (by the driver photo) and then clicking on the green arrow that appears. Select Abandon Schedule and then take charge of the train and head out of town. The points are all defaulted for you to continuously loop around Murchison County.
Remember this is slow mountain country so don't be in a hurry. There's much to see and experience so there's no need to rush.
If you find the bar at the bottom of the screen distracting then you can press F6 to toggle it off.
If you find the point names and arrows on the screen distracting then click on the On Screen Help button at the top of the screen to turn these off.
