The collapse transition of an isolated polymer has been modelled by many different approaches, including lattice models based on self-avoiding walks and self-avoiding trails. In two dimensions, previous simulations of kinetic growth trails, which map to a particular temperature of interacting self-avoiding trails, showed markedly different behaviour for what was argued to be the collapse transition than that which has been verified for models based of self-avoiding walks. On the other hand, it has been argued that kinetic growth trails represent a special simulation that does not give the correct picture of the standard equilibrium model. In this work we simulate the standard equilibrium interacting self-avoiding trail model on the square lattice up to lengths over $2,000,000$ steps and show that the results of the kinetic growth simulations are, in fact, entirely in accord with standard simulations of the temperature dependent model. In this way we verify that the collapse transition of interacting self-avoiding walks and trails are indeed in different universality classes in two dimensions.
