This could at least help with the aluminium that makes it up. 5 tonnes of aluminium per carraige https://aluminiuminsider.com/aluminium-use-production-trains-steams-ahead/

These would oc be transportation/passenger trains. Trains used for cargo n shiz would involve a lot more steel and weigh a tonne more. Though im focusing on carraiges atm. Train fronts (locomotives) would also be a little more complex to do since theyd have the engines and all.
So 5 tonnes aluminium is used in lightweight transport trains as mentioned above
https://www.worldsteel.org/steel-by-topic/steel-markets/transport.html 15% of a trains mass is steel
I found extremely varying results for the weight of train carraiges from many places going from 15 to 80 tons going by quora results. Though here it says that the average weight of an empty passenger car would be around 68 to 72 tons (more than a tank!). And here for a pretty light train its about 48 to 51 tonnes. Lower end mayyy be better to use here especially for a lowball.
So thats about 25% of the trains mass. Mostly trying to get up plastic and glass for the train and any other metals thatd be used.

Assuming I'm allowed to comment.
Can there also be one for temperature dropping feats since I feel that would also help out a lot of verses?

Unfortunately I lack expertise in doing temperature feats.

Ah, I see it's fine KieranH10 is helping me with a temp dropping feat.
But then I realised that other verses might have this problem so that's why I brought it up.

This is the results i get on quora. It would make more sense or at least be easier with 15 tonnes since aliminium and steel would then cover nearly half of the trains mass. Plastic and windows i still cant find anything that says how much is used on a train.
Might be my last bump as well agh

Well, that's not a lot to go on but I guess we can start with the basics, aluminium and steel.
Which one is more prevalent, steel or aluminium? I'm betting it's a mixture of both steel and aluminium.

Going by the sources i posted further up. 15% of the train is normally steel and an average of 5 tonnes of aluminium is used on lightweight carriages. Google does say zinc can be involved as well
