I found this video while noodling around in some of my old links. This is a video of the 300-series (gallery car) simulator that NICTD bought from Orca Railway Systems while I was there. Shots of the NICTD and Metra Electric ROWs as the simulator operates.
The plan, when I was there, was to train all new engineers on this (and another, 100-series) simulator before putting them on a "real" train for field training. They were also going to be used for annual recertification and for remedial training. The physical location of these full-size cab simulators is the Operations Control Center (OCC), in Michigan City.
