The main differences are greater size or capacity on main-line trains, speed and comfort - for crew as well as passengers!
As for speed, in the days before the wagons were fitted with continuous brakes, goods trains made up with such wagons on British railways were limited to about 30mph. Modern freight trains run at much higher speeds where the track is cleared for fast running. Similarly express passenger trains from the late 18C to the end of steam traction (1968, the last ones) averaged only about 60mph; the modern High-Speed diesel or electric trains run at up to about 120mph, others from 70 to about 90.
