I'm just genuinely confused what your point is. The weight of a passenger train per passenger is meaningless. I was vaguely curious that my local EMUs are 200-600kg depending on which capacity figure you use, but that information is of no use to me.

200kg/passenger is pretty amazing. That really surprise me. I would never have guessed that it would be that low.
