How do trains pull so much weight? I’ve seem them with hundreds of freight and gas tanker cars.

Not a train engineer, but I once read that the train car couplings have a small amount of give between each rail car. A train engine will actually back up and allow quite a few of the rail cars to back up so the train can get momentum as the couplings expand and finally catch on giving the train momentum.
