Well, they don't have to pay any royalty anymore.

Nothing's changed.

When you ship a game or application, you pay a 5% royalty on gross revenue after the first $3,000 per product, per quarter.

Has there been any simulation game of the same scope as Railworks been programmed in Unreal?

What is the graphics basis in UR4? OpenGL?

I noticed on Steam there is a SteamOS now, a Linux derivate, and Linux uses OpenGL. A multi platform Railworks UR would be nice.

To answer the above question, I haven't found anything even remotely resembling a train simulation on UR.

But perhaps this counts as a simulation?

Yawn. Until the sim can dispense beer for when you aren't catching anything, it truly can't simulate the real life fishing experience properly.
Though, if it did do it properly, you'd be fishing, already have a few beers in ya, and ring ring goes your phone in game for the Train Sim NextGen Railway giving your on duty call, and that "random" UA screening!
