The current reality is that rail is the cheapest way to move cargo overland where rail lines exist, but ocean container is cheaper still.

However, if there is enough commerce on an overland train route, it lowers the cost for the entire route.

I work in transportation logistics. Ships suck. Nothing beats the road or train.
