For what? Trolleys?
For most trains in Europe. For example I can mention the Iron Ore Line in north Sweden which has 8600 trains. Which isn’t as heavy as some of the coal or ore trains around the world, but it’s at up to a 1% incline.

Go look at the weight of an average coal train and remember that most of these railways go through some of the most criminal regions of the country with lots of burnable forest land running around the tracks

Just because the US never electrified it's train infrastructure after the obsoletion of the steam engine doesn't mean other folks didn't. Many trains straight up use their diesel engines as electric generators for electric motors.
