Any Railway on Earth

If you download Google Earth, and click on Railways to see Railway Routes, on Terrain and Buildings to enable reliefs and 3D elevation, you can travel on any Railway on Earth, albeit by helicopter!
But you can spot a train frozen in the view, as you pass by.
The TILT control on the right allows you to fly as a bird over the Railway line.
Another nice game is to spot your own home!
Do you want to know where is the British Royal Family Estate in Rome?
Villa Wolkonsky. You can actually see it.
It's 41°53'19"N, 12°30'36"E, inside the Aurelian walls.
I live just outside, in a 5-storey block of flats,
41°53'06.15"N, 12°32?05.20".
But I cant recognize my car parked in the square close by!
The Rome-Naples railway line is not far but I can only see the roofs of the coaches as they pass by.
