I can say that major train companies do move around stuff for the govt and it is expected that employees don't mention anything seen. I know this from current and former major train company employees who used to bring in my railcars. Also 5 railcars even if empty are going to be 120,000lbs (TARE) we had one engine (train) which would push our railcars (~70-80) onto our "spur" (different tracks within facilities) with no issue that is ~ 16 million lbs; I used a "Hercules" (a large machine which moves railcars ~7-10 railcars) and I can tell you that thing was huge but it struggled. IIRC a lot of the engines have GPS and in fact have an override that say the train company can actually apply breaks remotely, heard that from someone who was a worker at one of the "command centers" for a major railway/company. It is true that usually no one rides on moving railcars sometimes we did but at say 5-15mph, mainly when doing "ground" (spotting for the driver of the Hercules/engine ensuring that switches are set correctly and the track is not missing a part of rail which would cause a derailment.
Personally I liked it because I miss the trains and working around them.
