Is there a reason for no dynamic shadows?

The train races through the countryside as it heads to it's next stop.

Vince, it will cause the FPS to drop in high density areas.

Thanks for the answer.
I suspected that but you're posting screen shots!
Frame rates doesn't matter where the lack of shadows takes away the 'feel' of reality making the pictures look 'cheap'.
I use an i5 QuadCore Nvidia, GTX650 Win10 and the only location with low (15-20) frame rates is the Philadelphia area.
