Why did my brain go to motorcycle sidecar when you said a separate section you can remove? But yeah trains are the correct solution, this is coming from someone who loves his 01 Tacoma.

Yo, not bad.

Check it; double rail.. side by side connectable trains. Somehow.

Modern designs are too limited. Make a 20 foot separation between the rails, giant 4x4 train.

That was actually a thing the Germans did on a few occasions, if memory serves they had to link the tow trains for the Gustav Railway Gun. I think it's also been done on occasion for smaller locomotives to move overloaded cars.
