Freight Train (Average)

The workhorses that haul the world's goods by rail/Trains & Rail

An average North American freight train stretches roughly 2 kilometers and can carry the equivalent of 300 or more truckloads of cargo. Modern trains are so fuel-efficient they can move one ton of freight nearly 800 kilometers on a single gallon of diesel. They are slow, enormous, and unstoppable in the most literal sense: a fully loaded freight train needs over 2 kilometers to come to a complete stop.
