What if one could retrofit an old diesel locomotive to run on wood gas? It has been done with cars and tractors. Imagine a gas-train that gets its fuel from stations along the way. I was thinking rural Russia and the trans-Siberian railway. You could have a pyrolysis carriage that little by little produces gas for the train and the biochar could be deposited on farms along the route.
Now I'm no engineer and as such I have no idea how much gas is required for a regular sized train and how big the pyrolyser would have to be.
