I ran across this the other day and almost forgot about it because it was released on Steam. But I did a little more digging, and there will be a retail boxed version of the game in July! It looks great! In my opinion, much better than Rail Simulator. I have been waiting for a new railroad game for a long time, unfortunately, this one only includes modern diesels and electrics. I really hope they will have an expansion pack covering steam trains!
