I recently bought a new game from Streamlines, called TowerSim. Their first release is a simulation of the Conrail MG tower on the West slope. Basically, you are a interlocking tower operator responsible for the movement of trains through your interlocking limits at the direction of a "phantom" dispatcher. Its not as fast paced as TD3, but its still fairly challenging.
They have several different scenarios, and you also get a program to design your own and upload for all to use. Check the link below..they have a free down loadable demo you can try before you buy the game..

That seems really cool, however I get this message when I went to download the demo:

Chuck,
I have been going to that site regularly for over a year now, and have never had a single problem. I have this machine (and every other one in the house) locked down tight, and have never had the first warning about anything from them..
just my 2 cents.
Cool, I got the demo downloaded and I tried it out, and I definitely like it. However after I purchased it, their download page wouldn't load, and when it finally came through, it said I had used all of my download attempts. :-\
I sent a message to SWERG, so hopefully they'll straighten it out. I'm looking forward to tackling the scenarios.
So far so good, I'm playing it right now - nice game.
It's fun, however the demo has sounds of the trains as they pass by MG, whereas the real game doesn't have this. Also, this is a minor complaint, but the demo has lets you see outside the cabin at the surrounding scenery, whereas the actual game doesn't have this. The windows were a nice touch.
All in all, I think this is worth the purchase!
