I'd call it completely unrealistic :-) Field railways were rarely electrified (their whole purpose is to be simple and easily re-layable), and if a field railway is to carry wind turbine parts itself, overhead wire would be in the way of the large pieces. If we want to go non-fossil here, I suggest battery locomotives.
