Training for drivers of trains of 200 km/h requires experience supplemented by practice in a simulator as in the training of air-pilots. A simulator made by E. Marelli Co. for the Italian railways is described; it provides for driving in day and night conditions, engine controls and safety matters, signal visualisation and noise simulation, data generation, supervision and recording of driver performance. The simulator is controlled by a PDP/8/E computer.
