WRONG.At least this is all wrong if you are trying to determine the power needs of the railroad. The railroad, or the power company that supplies it, must be able to supply enough power to run ALL OF THE EQUIPMENT at ONCE. (Peak Load) So knowing what individual cars are drawing and when is irrelevent. During rush hour they are ALL moving, and ALL need power. Since the utility must purchace capacity to produce this amount and more (stand-by for down time, extra AC in warm weather etc etc) they will need to bill for that infrastructure even if you are only using a fraction of that in the middle of the night.
