Freight rail is rarely better than just putting the stuff on a ship. While it may be faster, ships are able to move much larger amounts. Its the same story as freight planes. There's a reason shipping is responsible for something like 80% of transport worldwide

okay, uh, why haven't they just made tanker-ship wide trains already?

Because that would require tanker-ship wide rail infrastructure (and tanker-ship tall as wellz which will really challenge the weight-factor)
