Train wheels typically weigh between 500-1,000 pounds each, depending on the type and size of the train.
Axle, 850lbs. Wheels are 2000lbs each. Just from what I've read.
The wheels on a train are not magnetic. They are steel wheels and the use of steel helps to reduce friction and propel the train forward.
Train wheels achieve traction through the friction between the steel wheels and the steel tracks. The weight of the train pressing down on the wheels increases this friction, allowing the train to move smoothly and efficiently along the tracks.
The front ones help guide the loco into turns, the drive wheels move the whole train, and the trailing trucks hold up the firebox. Note that slow (switchers say) locos needed only drive wheels.
Train wheels grip the track using a combination of friction and weight. The weight of the train pressing down on the wheels creates a strong grip on the track, while the shape of the wheels and the materials they are made of help to increase friction and prevent slipping. This grip allows the train to travel safely and efficiently along the tracks.
A lot, like a billion pounds. Give or take a Ford Ranger.

about 300 kg
A freight train weighs 12,000-20,000 tons.
About 110 tons
Approximately 276,000 pounds.
5000 kg i learned about it
The weight of a train engine varies depending on the type of engine. A diesel engine can weigh as much as 250 tons while a steam engine would be about 100 tons.
Yes, train wheels remain in contact with the track at all times. The tracks support the weight of the train. They also guide the train. The wheels are shaped such that the train remains balanced on them. Any slight movement of the wheels sideways is automatically corrected so that the wheels remains exactly on the middle of the rails. If the wheels were not in contact with the track, the train would be flying.
the palace on wheels is a luxury train and the facilities provided by the train orators that is an extra ordinary experience of traveler so that train is know as palace on wheels for its unique experience of traveling.
The wheels on a train are not magnetic. They are steel wheels and the use of steel helps to reduce friction and propel the train forward.
That will vary wildly depending on the composition of the train (e.g. number of cars).
