Electric trains have all their torque available all of this time, one of the primary advantages of the electric motor, therefore they can pull more cargo per motor. All the necessary rolling stock already exists, much of the track is in place and therefore the only intial cost for freight would be new engines. If the power for these trains is generated by wind farms and solar power plants you will see a rapid reduction in emissions and gasoline usage.
