At present, no they cannot. They are far too inefficient and do not produce enough power.
Electricity provided by solar cells on a train could help run some of the auxiliary services, in some circumstances.
Solar Cells are used to power Solar Panels.
Photons from the sun contribute to the generation of power from solar cells.
They power homes and other buildings.
No. There are no solar trains in the world. There are electric trains, some of which run on renewable energy, but there are no solar trains, that is, trains with solar panels that capture and use solar radiation on the run.
solar powered cars
Some governments use solar energy to power offices. Communication and military satellites are powered by solar cells.
In solar power technology, photovoltaic cells can harness the power of light.
Solar power stations work by using a series of solar cells to convert energy from the Sun into electricity. It is then stored in batteries or transferred to the power grid.

The solar car actually uses batteries for power, rather than draw power directly from the solar cells. Even on cloudy days, there's enough daylight falling on the solar cells to charge the battery.
None of the Apollo spacecrafts has solar cells. All of them used fuel cells and chemical batteries to provide energy.
A solar furnace is a device that uses concentrated solar power to produce high temperatures for industrial processes or research, while solar cells (or photovoltaic cells) are devices that convert sunlight directly into electricity. Solar furnaces are used for heat generation, while solar cells are used for electricity generation.
