Why the fuck would you pull a train instead of just carrying the stuff? That is the weight of the stuff plus the weight of the train :D

Thanks for filling me in.

Why do people use hand carts, rickshaws, and wagons?

Edit: cart to carts

Because of the construction of those. The structure in itself is leight so that the wheels have less friction and turn more easily than a heavy train which needs a power source like coal or electricity to work against that friction.
