It is standard that railroad tracks should not have a grade more than 2%. Steel against steel has very little traction. Any tracks with a grade much more than 2% are cog railroads, look up Mount Washington, NH.
I guess if it were an electric train, all the coal that’s used in the electric power plants wouldn’t be causing pollution. Just like all the electric vehicles don’t cause the charging stations to use electricity from coal-fired power plants, either.
