A detailed Chinese urban-rail driving simulator modeled around CBTC signaling, a six-car CRRC B-type train, and third-rail DC750V operation.

Why it surfaced

This is far more specific than a generic vehicle simulator: it exposes driver controls for traction, braking, doors, ATO, ATP, TCMS, and multiple operating modes from restricted manual driving to full automation. Its warning that it is not for real-world training only makes the miniature railway-control world more legible—and more fun to explore.

Thirty Patents for the Grave

August 13’s newborn domains include 30 safety-coffin patents, lost notices for false teeth and a box of hair, short films playing in 100 Tokyo taxis, and a Queensland river view arranged gauge by gauge downstream.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-13 Domain Arrivals issue.
