Just as there have been some scenarios that have us loading hoppers or tank cars, it would be cool to have operational intermodal cranes, and various other NPC operated actions such as loading/unloading box cars, centerbeam cars, etc. Also, it would be cool to see more wayside NPC behaviors such as track maintenance and maintenance of way. Operational NPC radio chatter would also enhance immersion. Another would be having NPC trains to sound their horns when approaching grade crossings. Lastly, it would also be really neat for there to be dynamic situations such like with dynamic weather, in which defect detectors work and may detect a defect, or variable track conditions (downed trees, rock slides, etc) that would give us proper reason to go into emergency and therefore add a challenge to the game itself.
