If you are setting up small fans on the top of the train certainly will create resistance of forward movement.., so it will increase the load on the engine....,
Now assume you are fitting 5 wind turbines of say 120 KVa that load will be directly transferred to engine.., it can only yield when the movement is with gravity (on slope)..,
But your idea could work for a ship as wind plays very vital role in navigation.., but it will increase its tare weight

Yeah, that's a perpetual motion machine. Thermodynamics says it can't happen. The energy required to overcome the drag on the fans will be as much (probably more) than you gain from the turbines.
