Ha! You could get a 300 km perpetual snake-train of motorized chassis following each other. And they could hit the 40 km/h traveling speeds of the current American freight trains, no problem (such a low bar..)
Could be done, I guess. The high-speed tracks in Europe are protected with fences, and have no level crossings, so the same could be done here to have a fully-automatic motorized wagon system. Without locomotive you would need a third-rail electricity pick-up system. Less safe, but the track is fenced off, so why not?
