Lots, because a train is heavy. A 500 gallon fuel tank is small.
BUT ... the amount of fuel used to move a ton of freight is roughly one quarter what it takes to move it by truck (and a tenth of what it takes to fly it).
It depends on distance and booking time. For short trips like San Diego to Los Angeles, trains are usually cheaper once you count airport transfers, baggage fees, and time. For long distances, budget airlines often beat trains, especially when booked early. In Europe and Asia, high-speed rail competes well. Compare total costs, including getting to stations or airports, before deciding.
how ever much u put in it
A freight train gets 480 ton~miles to a US gallon. For example a 1-ton car would have to get 480 MPG to match the efficiency.
Disel is used by train.
trent that's how much
A train conductor Minds the Train, a teacher Trains the Mind!
alot
Nope - a train is a mechanical device.
About 100 gallons of diesel fuel.
High fuel consumption
I advise you to use this excellent site I use for train times.See related link below.
Depends on the train type. Steam trains and diesel trains use chemical energy stored in their fuel (coal or diesel) to create mechanical energy. Electrical trains use, well, electricity.
