trainload

Full freight haul

A trainload is the quantity that fills or could fill a train—passengers or freight.

Like truckload and boatload, it often serves as hyperbole for a large amount: They brought a trainload of equipment.

The word appears in logistics contexts where actual train capacity matters, but casual usage dominates.
