Are you asking about Locomotion, or OpenTTD? I've seen you post this request for two different games now.

You can run long trains in Locomotion. There is a limitation that prevents them from moving on long sections of straight track, so build with lots of curves. If you place a train on curvy track, then let them run onto straighter track, they will slow down and stop, so the entire railroad needs to be curvy.

As far as Visual Studio... Locomotion was written in assembly code. You'd have to reverse engineer the entire program in a more modern language like C++ and then make the changes you are suggesting. It would be a monumental task and take years of careful work and documentation. And that's exactly what's being done in the OpenLoco project :D Check them out : https://openloco.io/ especially their Discord.
