I can think of a few usages for it.

Batteries could get a train up to cruising speed requiring a smaller train engine and less fuel.

Batteries could save on line expansion, instead of installing a 3rd rail for the whole line, they could go a 3rd rail every 50 miles for 10 miles.

I agree a 3rd rail would be cheaper in the long run. Batteries could help bridge the gap.
