''[[https://youtu.be/pM0xg6Ga_ms GTA… but with talking trains!!]]'' is a short Website/YouTube video by Hat-Loving Gamer, acting as a crossover between ''WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends'' and ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoSanAndreas''. A retelling of the infamous ''San Andreas'' mission "Wrong Side of the Tracks" in the style of a classic five minute ''Thomas'' episode, the short follows the journey of Brown Streak as he attempts to break out of the confines of his Los Santos yard, and finds himself caught up in a gang war in the process.

The short is notably narrated by Mark Moraghan, narrator of Seasons 17 to 21 of ''Thomas & Friends''.
!Tropes found in the short include:
----
* AdaptationExpansion: As a result of turning the trains into living characters, the short expands the Brown Streak's reason for heading to Las Venturas in the first place.
* AffectionateParody: Of both ''WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends'' (emulating the format of that show's classic seasons) and ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoSanAndreas'' (making fun of some of that game's quirks).
* BrokenBridge: Parodied, as Brown Streak's wish is to try and break out of the confines of Los Santos and into Las Venturas over a blockaded bridge; the ability of the train to cross this bridge wasn't explained in the original game.
* DemographicDissonantCrossover: Of a beloved all-ages show about trains and a video game that was once infamously rated Adults Only. The short sticks to remaining PG and closer to the former in terms of presentation.
* ParodyAssistance: Mark Moraghan, the narrator for Seasons 17 to 21 of ''Thomas & Friends'', is the narrator here.
* SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud: The gunshots are the narrator quietly saying 'pew pew'.
* StylisticSuck: The short emulates some of the production quirks of model-era episodes of ''Thomas'', particularly the obvious crease in the sky where the set's backdrop turns a corner.
