Note: If you want to save the Activity without interrupting your run, just press the “Quick Save”
key (F2). Quick-saving is a smart thing to do every now and then. If you make a mistake (such
as lose control of the train while going down a hill), you can re-start at the point where you last
Quick-saved instead of having to start the entire Activity again from the beginning.
