Yes, it can. Train braking systems are not that powerful and a large train can take over a mile to come to a stop.
Consider the physics. The kinetic energy of a train is given by: KE = 1/2 m v2
The work to stop a train is F d, where F is the stopping force provided by the brakes and d is distance.
So F d = 1/2 m v2. This tells you that if you double the speed of the train, you increase the stopping distance by 4 fold! If you double the mass of the train (the number of cars) you double the stopping distance.
The web site below gives some figures on train braking distance.

55 miles
If 31 are boxcars then 91-31 = 60 are NOT boxcars. So 60/91 of the train are not boxcars.
They are smaller and weight less.
Average speed is 65 mph.
It would be approx 1827.7 miles.
1408 cars
The average freight train is about 1 to 1.25 miles in length (90 to 120 rail cars). When it's moving at about 55 miles an hour, it can take a mile or more to stop However, in an emergency its about 300 feet
About 1140 train cars.
The longest train in world history was 4.568 miles long. It ran about 170 miles with 682 loaded iron ore wagons or cars in Australia in 2001.
train cars
Anywhere from 4/5 mile to 1.2 miles, depending on the type(s) of rail cars.
Four.
The amount of cargo that a train can carry depends on the size of the train and the number of cars it carries. If a train is large and has many cars it can carry a lot of cargo.
There are two; EUROSTAR which takes passengers from London/Ebbsfleet/Ashford to Paris/Brussels/Lille and LE SHUTTLE, which takes cars and their occupants from Folkestone to Calais.
recount several early experiments used to move the train cars.
Of course, cars, buses, trucks, train etc.
they are called compartments and rail cars.............(in india)
