No it’s about if steam has the torque to start moving it can haul that train without issue, while electric always has the torque to get itself into deep deep trouble if mishandled
Yeah electric would move but could only do it at a crawl and would overheat rapidly. It’s a bit like hooking your Honda civic up to a semi trailer and then trying to haul that 500km in first gear… You’re gonna have a bad time.

But that trouble is that it would cause itself damage, not that it would start and then just somehow stop?
