Thats enough to put a fully loaded Abrahams tank (with crew) into orbit…
Being a fan of railways, I tend to compare to electric locomotives. The heaviest Vectrons are about 90 tons, and they would fit into the payload bay:

Now that would be high-speed rail.
I think a steam locomotive would be even cooler - first steps to Galaxy Express. ;-)
For example 2 of the legendary JGR Class 8620 (nicknamed hachiroku) Japanese steam locomotives could be comfortably launched to orbit in 90 tons. :)
