most trains in the us run on diesel but many routes in east us run on electricity for high speed rail and normal rail also don't forget light rail in local cities rest of the us.

with a 5 car passenger with a locomotive it consume around 1.5 gallon per mile, more consume with freight or more cars for passengers.
