In Back to the Future part 3, the gang is forced to hijack a train to push the DeLorean up to 88mph after it's gasoline fuel tanks are accidentally punctured and emptied.
However, the train is only needed to get the DeLorean up to speed. The time circuits are powered by electricity, which the Mr. Fusion reactor is still able to provide.
Instead of a train, could they have used electric motors of the era (1885) to push the 2700lb DeLorean up to 88mph?
