"Train simulator"?

We usually just go outside for a walk.

I'm asking about automatic warning systems. Do US Trains have them? Practically every loco does in Europe.

Who the hell knows? You know what Americans don't do? Play train simulators as recreation. Boy, pressing a button over and over sounds exhilarating. A celebration of life!

Here's Sim Rail (not out yet) vs Dovetail's. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jod6Ww5QSIw Sim UK's review of the recently released AND patched demo: I did it before it was patched and actually made it almost to the end but the dispatch mode was broken. (Go figure) It wanted me to contact dispatch to get permission to cross a signal at danger at limited speed to teach you how to use dispatch mode but it didn't work. I wonder if the patch fixed it? Most players of the demo didn't get as far as I did and said they couldn't time stopping at the stations though I had no trouble with the braking system.
