According to [1] a passenger train consumes about 2l per 100km per person. Whereas airtravel takes 4.9-5.9l per 100km for short ranges below 800km.

Most passenger rail in Europe is electric though.

If you'd want to be truly accurate (or pedantic) electricity is not a power source. In NL the trains run on wind.
