Depends on the train obviously, but a lot less than cars at anywhere close to capacity. Why do you ask? Just look at the Wikipedia page for whichever rolling stock you were thinking of.
Seems like there is room for improvement, but it seems to be a scary subject here.
I'm just genuinely confused what your point is. The weight of a passenger train per passenger is meaningless. I was vaguely curious that my local EMUs are 200-600kg depending on which capacity figure you use, but that information is of no use to me.
200kg/passenger is pretty amazing. That really surprise me. I would never have guessed that it would be that low.
