I fell asleep before I saw this...LOL
I think the dodge or chevy could have also done it.
I still love the 6.7 Ford doing donuts around the other trucks
Lets take that train off them tracks and then see who can move it.

Now THAT would be interesting!
Could you just divide the the weight of the train by the number of wheels?

Surface area of dime. Diameter=.835, So Pi(radius)^2=square inch per dime.
Pi(.4175)^2=.547 Sq inches per wheel of the train.
So if the train cart had 16 wheels .547(16)=8.752 square inches to distribute the weight. Now at 280,000 lbs. That would be 280,000/8.752= 31,992 lbs per square inch. Or 280,000/16 = 17,500 lbs per wheel
Should be right
