How is a freight train able to generate so much torque? Can you put that into perspective?

It boggles my mind how much a freight train can tow. I feel like something should break before that much power can be generated. How does it work? What’s the engineering feat that enabled this? Can you put it into perspective? I mean it’s obvious just by looking at it, but what does it compare to? Thanks!
