    I don’t think cargo ships are going to be obseleted by trains even in a scenario where all fossil fuels are banned or otherwise unavailable, because ships can take advantage of wind power (sails).

      Obsoleted was perhaps too strong a word. As I mentioned in another reply, it’s more about facilitating trade across land routes that are too far from shipping centres to be viable currently.
