NYC 'Empire State Express' #999

Description
Reputedly the first locomotive to hit 100mph, but there's no proof.
This post was made by the City of Truro gang

Claimed to be the first vehicle in the world to breach 100mph, the N. Y. C. & H. R. R. R. 4-4-0 #999 is a late 19th Century 4-4-0. With huge wheels, high boiler and a big cow-catcher, these locomotives were iconic.

This mod was commissioned by NeighborKid, and they picked a good one.

Any wagons that can go 100km/h+ in 1893?

Also about speed records. Some are shifty because the locomotive was going downhill. Others are impressive because they achieved their speed on a straight while actually pulling passenger waggons.

Any chance to get an American passenger wagon for the pre 1900 time with adequate speed?

@Sonio_MagR (GPM) being the first to reach 100 MPH is different than recording a certain speed,
The claim is that this was the first loco to reach 100 but it wasn't recorded so it has an unoffical record.

@SM4. It's record speed was 112 MPH (180 KPH) back in 1913.

I just noticed that there is a glitch with the piston rods where the joint plate is not connected to the piston rod assembly (basically the animations play at different speeds.)
