A reading on the train simulator would require:
- Train sway rocker base upon which is bolted two standard passenger train seats, one to sit on and one ahead of that seat to glance at occasionally
- Train sway must be programmed for random jostles and jolts
- Acceleration and deceleration simulation with the seat rocker as the train simulation stops at programmed points in the simulation
- Monitor in place of a window on the right side with 4K 60FPS day and night loops of passing neighborhoods and vistas as viewed from the upper level of a two-level passenger train
- Air conditioner flowing past constantly, ensuring warmth never occurs during the simulated train ride
- Faux train interior dressing for the left and front views of the participant viewing area to ensure immersion during the reading experience
- Speaker system
- Train conductor voice recordings of upcoming stations with appropriate level of poor speaker system muffling
- Programmed cessation of seat jostling during scheduled stops
- Random stops and conductor announcements of an obstruction on the tracks
- Nice to have: an entire passenger train car in which the simulator is constructed, thereby maximizing immersion and eliminating the need for set dressing
