The game revolves around driving trains on rendered places called routes. Six routes are included, with two in Japan, two in the United States, and the rest being set in the UK and Austria. These routes range from European steam railways, the Odakyu Electric Railway in Tokyo, the [=BNSF=] Railway's Northern Transcon route over Marias Pass, and Amtrak's Northeast Corridor between Philadelphia and Washington DC. (There is a seventh route designated for tutorials) The player may drive trains freely from a starting point, or run activities such as driving and stopping a passenger train or shunting/switching freight cars.

Fortunately, MSTS has been gradually supplanted by an open source train simulator called [[http://openrails.org/ Open Rails]], which can run MSTS content as well as advanced features and content that are not compatible with MSTS. The working efforts of the Open Rails team and devoted addon developers are perhaps the best hopes for MSTS to stay relevant.

Users may create or download custom trains, routes, and activities for the game, not to mention the many modifications that fix bugs and therefore helped increase the game's lifespan. The game was popular in the RailEnthusiast community, although it is out-of-print, graphically outdated, has compatibility issues on newer PCs, and has been succeeded by newer train simulators sold on digital storefronts that are much more convenient to install, which have led to a decline of the MSTS player-base aside from a thriving community based in India.

** The Marias Pass route in real life features several impressive iron trestles on it, at Cut Bank, either end of the East Glacier siding, Java, and Sheep Creek (between Java West and Essex). In MSTS, only the Two Medicine trestle at East Glacier is depicted accurately. The Cut Bank, Java and Sheep Creek trestles are depicted as ordinary bridges, while the East Glacier trestle is missing entirely. Thankfully, later modified third party versions of the route were created that added back the trestles. These third party routes also took the trouble of fixing the steep 5% grades on parts of the line to more realistic 2% grades, making it easier to operate heavy freight trains over the pass.
