It's not because of a domestic economy. It's because a freight/boat is much more economical than a train and a train doesn't make any sense.
It's only here ( now ), because it's heavy subsidized by China and an excuse for modern colonialism.
PS. A lot of ( sane / healthy) infrastructure works are happening in Africa with Europe / US though. But if it's not feasible, it ain't going to happen. That's where the Chinese come in to burry them in debt.
