Iceland and the Faroe Islands are normally grouped with Europe, and Greenland with North America.

Exactly! While Greenland and Iceland are geographically considered American (or half Amarican, half European for Iceland) , they are geopolitically considered European countries.

This means that a European rail, connecting all European countries, would need a rail to Greenland, which is on the other side of the Atlant.

Now, Iā€™m not arguing against trains, they are a useful tool for the right job, but planes fill a different role (small load but high speed transport to hard-to-reach locations) that trains cannot fulfill in the same capacity. So instead of abolishing planes, we should try to force them to be more environmentally viable.

Thank you.
