Electric Train Power Usage

I'll put this here because, well, it is a general travel question I suppose.

How many watts does a typical subway train use? Anyone have any idea?

What about a bigger higher speed train, like the Eurostar, Shinkansen, or Acela?

I've Googled and Googled but can't find anything.

Help the idly curious! Thanks.
