Unloaded a ten car BART train can weigh 330 tons. Load limit crush load is 500 tons, which is never achieved (believe it or not).
Unloaded a three car SMART train weighs 225 tons.
Both of these are within a few percent of actual. The new BART cars are a half to a full ton heavier than the old for example.
