The pulling capacity of a train engine depends on various factors such as the type of locomotive, the number of engines in the consist, the grade of the track, and the condition of the rail. Generally, a single train engine can pull hundreds to thousands of tons of freight or passenger railcars.

How does a train engine pull its compartments which are much heavier than the engine?

The question is not weight, it is the rolling resistance of the compartments, AND the traction of the engine on the rails. Think of this- I cannot pick up a car, but on level ground I can PUSH a car. And I weigh far less than my car.
