750m train can get to something like 2000+ tonnes of reasonably dense stuff.
In principle you can join two of these together with a locomotve in the middle.
If you look at the figures for aggregates being moved in the UK then you are looking at several 100,000s of thousands of tonnes being moved per month. from Somerset to the SE and London. (Though not the same distances as involved with areas such as Ukraine and Russia.)
