Hello!
Thanks for the reports.
What exactly do you mean that you can't choose the cars to pull? There should be a dialog box when selecting engines that are capable of hauling cars. Not all engines are though, since many trains are multiple units.
When we're talking about mods, try to deactivate the "only show consists" checkbox, then you'll be able to choose locomotives, followed by cars. Or you can create your own consist files and save them in the consists folder.
Regarding the speed limits, when you're going to fast, you'll derail. So that's not a crash but rather intentional, since trains aren't supposed to go faster than the speed limit. The speed limits have to be adheered to much more strictly than in a car, actually.
I hope this answered your questions.

Hello!
In general you can always try the wikipedia article for a route, many articles include the distances between stations. Other than that, you can also use a navigation application like Google Maps and find out the distances between two adjacent stations by entering one as start and the other as destination and looking at the walking distance. This is not completely realistic though.
If you could tell me, which routes you're looking at, or at least the country, I may be able to help you further.
