The Train Operations Manager has warned all drivers not to race trains on accompanying tracks. With the power needle swung almost to full effort, this driver will find it hard to avoid the ops manager's wrath.

This screenshots doesn't really remove the allegation of racing.

In an attempt to prove his innocence, the driver's Track Monitor indicates 118 km/hr (120 km/hr max.) but he has enough power on to attain 145 km/hr.

Our driver under suspicion has left behind the train on his right - the reason was that it was slowing down in anticipation of the train on the left getting the road to Monchengladbach.
