The plane would have 2.7 giga joules of energy
The train would have 42.67 mega joules

This assumes the train is carrying 150 tons and the plane is carrying 220 tons

64,240,000,000 times more energy than the piece of poo poo train

Trains are for tards

Or I'm a tard and can't do math

Edit congrats it's the last one

Here's a super Swedish train

911 111 111 m kg / s

Vs

Fully loaded 747

79 197 227.8 m kg / s

But the Swedish train is full of coal and gonna loving light up the town

also what angle is the plain hitting the train at? head-on, sideswipe, t-bone? this is an important factor that i think you neglected to consider.

lol, your numbers are the most heavy plane on earth fully loaded versus a train that's like 2 cars. 150 tons for a train is some pussy poo poo, nobody ever takes a train out that light.

an entire train could be 8000tons
a plane maybe 340

but the speed difference between 80mph and 600mph means the plane has more energy!

Ok so I guess some rear end in a top hat train carried 19000 tons vs a fully loaded 747 (970,000 pounds) and that train would win

But it'd also get derailed and jet fuel would explode all over its coal

Plane 79 197 227.8 m kg / s

Train 448 149 262 m kg / s
