    I don’t think there’s two larger things on the planet I could have mixed up lmao. Coulda sworn you said pacific…

    Anways, Seattle <> Alaska is indeed a rail line. By every common definition I have ever seen, rail lines do not have to be contiguous sections of track, they are just an established route or collection of routes.

    Railway line, railroad line, rail line, or train line:
    - A railway route connecting two or more places or other railway routes[200]

    But to answer the original question yes there are several transatlantic rail-lines, one very high traffic example being Mobile Alabama <> Coatzacoalcos Veracruz

    (Picture of a retired ship from the route via wikipedia. Honestly, it looks so much more badass than it has any reason to)
