Major logistical routes are build gradually. Currently it's only one train a week with 40 containers. Similar train goes from Chinese east coast to Spain.

When logistics starts to trust the route, the volumes and the cost or railway freight will increase. Railway freight is currently just 20-30% more expensive than ocean freight but takes only 10-15 days. Ocean freight takes two months.

Air freight for items above 500 kg is rarely cost effective. Rail freight opens up new possibilities for faster deliveries.
