Apparently this is a weak point for Europe, and even other rail systems like China’s. The US has a relatively efficient cargo rail network, while more stuff is shipped across the EU in trucks than it probably should be.
Eh. I wasn’t specifically thinking of emissions, but overall cost, manpower, and road congestion.
Diesel cargo trains dramatically reduce all that vs an electric 18 wheeler, even if EV trucks are prevalent. Though I suspect they’re still pretty rare.

Well, Electric Trucks are prevalent now, so still pretty efficient
