Train Simulator 2017 - TGV on a 1940s Interurban Line

I got to thinking, "what if a modern TGV trainset was placed on a 1940s interurban railroad like the Sacramento Northern?" Trying to round corners, navigate the streets, going the speed limit would be a bit of a challenge. Here are the results of my highly sophisticated and ethical experiment.
Music Used:
Tchaikovsky - 1812 Overture
Kevin MacLeod - The Descent
Kevin MacLeod - The Forest and the Trees
Captain Punjab - Thomas & The Trucks Jazz Thene
Kevin MacLeod - One-eyed Maestro
Kevin MacLeod - Hidden Agenda

This stuff is hilarious!! I got MSTS mainly because I wanted to do what I saw in youtube videos. I wanted to add a Chessie System locomotive (consist) but had no clue on how to do it. So I went to the MSTS train forum, and right off the bat with the questions I was asking, people were like, "you just want to crash trains! don't you?!?" And I kept my wordings and things kinda brief, but then at the end I said something that directly correlated to crashing trains, and the guy was like, "see!! I knew it!!" I guess on that forum, most people are either hardcore train enthusiasts, or former train engineers, or have at some point worked on a railroad. I basically said that it's a game, and that no one is getting hurt by it, and those people on there just couldn't take it lol. They acted like I was an evil person because I wanted to wreck trains haha. I changed some info on the one consist, and it does like 2000 mph lol. Fun times.
