Look what I found... Overland train... We built it... @Leftyhunter
en.wikipedia.org
In the 1950s, LeTourneau Inc. developed several overland trains, essentially oversized semi-trailer trucks that could travel over almost any terrain. Their intention was to be able to handle logistics needs without being dependent on local road or rail systems, allowing them to operate in back-country areas. The US Army had three experimental units built, the largest reaching almost 600 feet (183 m) long, which holds the record for the longest off-road vehicle. Road trains are in use in certain roles today, but the US Army examples and a few derivatives appear to be the only off-road examples built.

what about ground pressure and fuel consumption?

Here is another Artic vehicle...
en.wikipedia.org
The Antarctic Snow Cruiser was a vehicle designed from 1937 to 1939 under the direction of Thomas Poulter, intended to facilitate transport in Antarctica during the United States Antarctic Service Expedition (1939–41).[1] The Snow Cruiser was also known as "The Penguin," "Penguin 1" or "Turtle"[2] in some published material. Poulter had been second in command of Byrd's Second Antarctic Expedition, launched in 1934. From his time in the Antarctic, Poulter had devised several innovative features. The massive Snow Cruiser generally failed to operate as hoped under the difficult conditions (the tires, notably smooth to avoid becoming snow encrusted, did not grip the ice) and was eventually abandoned in Antarctica. Rediscovered under a deep layer of snow in 1958, it later disappeared again due to shifting ice conditions.

Here is some more on the Overland train... more photos...

Well, here is where the huge land train comes into play. But first, a bit of history, because there were a few predecessors to the massive 54-wheeled vehicle I mentioned at the beginning that can’t be ignored.
www.thedrive.com
Born in 1888, Robert Gilmore LeTourneau was an inventor of heavy machinery. In WWII, 70 percent of the Allies' earthmoving equipment was created by LeTourneau Technologies, Inc. Having very little formal education, LeTourneau began his working career as an ironmonger. By the time he died in 1969 he was tremendously wealthy and personally held nearly 300 patents. He is buried on the campus of the University he founded in his name, where his gravestone reads "MOVER OF MEN AND MOUNTAINS." Just a little character development for you.

Here a more detail story of the Antarctic vehicle... with photo and video...
www.thedrive.com
He must've been a good salesman, because the foundation agreed to go forward with his idea in 1937 and spent two years designing the vehicle under his direction. When Poulter heard the famed Admiral William Byrd was leading another scientific expedition to Antarctica at the end of 1939, he secured $150,000 in funding to get his creation off the drawing board with the government's blessing. Construction began at the Pullman Company in Chicago in August 1939 and was completed in just 11 weeks.

Last seen in 1958, it was designed to travel 5000 miles and self-sustain for an entire year.
