I think the other aspect is inventory-time-cost. There's probably a narrow category of things that are high-value/(kg OR L), but not so much so to justify air transit. Or can't be.
Maybe loads of lithium batteries? Autos? Some foodstuffs good for 7 days but not 21? Trains can make lots of stops, but that can make a lot of sense for global goods.
