The train could carry lot of material because of the less rolling resistance compare to an automobile.

Rolling resistance for the Rail road is about 0.0002 to 0.0010.

Rolling resistance for the CAR on the road is 0.010 to 0.015.

so a train can carry 15 to 50 times more load than automobile.

General cargo trains will be the pull load about 10,000 to 15,000 tonnes.
