Railways are actually super important though. They can transport more cargo than any other means. Especially heavy stuff like artillery guns and armored vehicles. It doesn't matter if you have 10,000 Artillery guns, if you can't get them to the front.

The large cargo ships famously need large amounts of water. For getting material to the Frontlines it's either rail or road.

Okay, but I wasn't discussing or quoting you on anything relating to war material. Just your assertion about cargo in general!

Also...

Sounds like you haven't heard about viking cargo ships on logs!
