I don't know if this is only TRS19, or if anyone else has mentioned it, but in working with some views tonight, I notice that if I put the camera on "Walk" mode, I am not really at the height of a person. I am right at the ground, like I am laying there, and if I am near a loco or boxcar or what have you, I cannot see up, I can only look at the bottom portion of it. If I was walking close to these things, I would at least be able to look up at them, but the up arrow just moves closer. Is there any ctrl or alt or shift key combo to look up?
TRS19 walk mode is more like ground view

Ah - eyes versus computer monitors. It's all about humans having a pair of eye x feet off the ground, while the "camera" in game provides a much different view point.
Place a person in Surveyor, go into walk mode and walk up to the person. As you get close, are you seeing their feet or head? You will find their head is in the middle of the screen.

Use the left mouse button.

You can tilt and rotate with the mouse button, just keep it pressed down and move the mouse. The keyboard only goes forward, backward, or left and right.
Just tested in SP5
placed a built-in male person and went to it, eye height was at his lower neck, so around 1.50m
my eyes are at 1.75m (different for us all), then ofc the top of the rails is at 0.3m
Would be nice to have an option in the future to set the eye height, for walk cam
a funny thing happened I took an screeny and no rails on the screeny
(built-in procedural track used)

I ran a little test, and I found in Surveyor, walk mode put me at about waist height (center screen) on a person I could not see the head when up close. In Driver mode, I was more like shoulder height on the same person and could see the head. The other thing is, it does not adjust for people on a platform, so then it may be only knee height. In neither Surveyor nor Driver mode did the left mouse button do anything. Is that new with 22 or SP5?

Just checked and it should be the right button. Keep it held down while moving the mouse around.
That's because the people on the platform are higher while you are on the ground.
John, I wasn't clear, but that was kind of my point. Walk view does not get up on the platforms. It would be a big ask, so I am not really asking, but presumably if you are next to someone on a platform, you are also on the platform. Boleyd, I will give that a try. I usually seem to be about bogey height and no even up to the windows, especially since I am below the platform!

Use Drone view - Pg Up/Down to adjust height. Faster than walking too. 
And, thanks for the screenshot bug info!
