What would the performance of propellor powered trains be like? Would they be able to pull heavy loads?

youd need a blimp to pull heavy loads

Weight 20.3 t
Maximum speed 230 km/h (140 mph)

This was designed for high speed rail. Not to pull heavy loads.

Counter question - what would be the performance of water propeller train.

Could you design a propeller train that could pull heavy loads?

design potential is never the problem, practicality is. it really makes no sense to carry out.

The efficiency of a propeller is at best like 60% if i remember correctly, could have been 80% idk and for wheels it's very close to 100%.
