You misunderstood me. For one, I simply assumed that locomotives have big engines for a reason and thus the number can’t be calculated for the entire train. For two, when I mentioned the capacity of cars, I meant maximum passenger capacity. I said that because at maximum passenger capacity, cars become a reasonable means of transportation whereas normally, they are ridiculously inefficient.
It’s that normalized by passenger or is that just the train?
Normalized by passenger, certainly. However, it’s easier to hit passenger capacity in a train than in a (private) car.
Wait the private car isn’t normalized as 1 person per car or 1.2 average people per car?
Deeply suspicious framing if that’s the case.

So if you just 4 people in an electric car then it beats a train? Huh
The 50 is normalized to passenger. I think it’s 30 per seat, but I guess they don’t fill all the seats usually.
