Why is it masculine?
Trem (train) is masculine in Portuguese. While it is indeed a loanword from English "train" borrowed in the 19th century, the masculine gender assignment likely followed the pattern of Portuguese words ending in -em, which are predominantly masculine (such as "bem", "tem", "rem"). The word's gender is inherent to its adoption into Portuguese rather than derived from semantic similarity to other Portuguese words.
