Yes, you are not on that "most" category. (But that 2500km is close to it, so trains may still be more comfortable.)
to be fair, even for short trips trains require a minimum passenger flux before it's more efficient than planes. So even strictly talking about carbon emissions, trains are a net loss for most trajectories, but a large gain for most passengers.
