There's really no set limit. These days trains can get extremely long, and are really only limited by the regulations set by the state in which it is running. In Canada, for example, I routinely see freight trains with upwards of 100 cars, with at least one container on every car, sometimes 2 (stacked one on top of the other).

There is really no set limit. The defining factors would be the strength of the line, the power of the locomotive, the weight of the containers and the strength of any bridges the train needs to travel over.
