Ivanhoe Mines Ltd. is a Canada-based mining, development, and exploration company. It is focused on the mining, development and exploration of minerals and precious metals from its property interests located primarily in Africa. Its projects include Kamoa-Kakula Complex, Western Foreland, Kipushi and Platreef. The Kamoa-Kakula Complex project is a stratiform copper deposit with adjacent prospective exploration areas within the Central African Copperbelt, approximately 25 kilometers (kms) west of the town of Kolwezi and approximately 270 kms west of the provincial capital of Lubumbashi. The 17 licenses in the Western Foreland cover a combined area of 2,407 square kilometers to the north, south and west of the Kamoa-Kakula Copper Complex. The Kipushi Project lies adjacent to the town of Kipushi and 30 kms southwest of the provincial capital of Lubumbashi. Its Platreef project is situated approximately eight km from Mokopane and 280 km northeast of Johannesburg, South Africa.

Perhaps - rethink the idea ( box car generators )

Solar ?
Would never come close to electrical grnerators.

Standard rail car wheel = 36" inches
1 mile per hour = 9.34 rpm's ( revolutions per minute )

40 miles per hour = 373.6 rpm

https://www.omnicalculator.com/everyday-life/rpm

What does a 1 MW electrical generator require for revolutions ?

Rated power	0.5--5000	kW
Rated rotate speed	20--3000	rpm
Rated voltage	48--1140	Vac
Frequency	60/50	Hz

If one is familar with gears / ratios
One would need a worm gear amplifer of, 10:1

40 miles per hour
= 373.6 rpm
x 10 gear amplifer
= 3, 736 rpms

One has just achieved a secondary purposing of, locomotive wheels.
Delivery of goods + grnerating power

Power not attached to grid with expensive rates
rather - power produced by rail owner partnered with miner.

Number of box cars fitted with generators + battery banks
dictates amount of usable stored electricty.

Again, solar could never compare to electrical generators.
What i've just outlined is perhaps an entirely... NEW REVOLUTIONARY IDEA.
Practable / Doable.

Smart ideas that resolve.
