I took the train from brussel to sicily. It's not that stupid. Sometime trains go on boat.
... Your train went on a boat to sicily? From where? Marseille ? Never heard of this, i'm curious
I mean it's actually quite unique to sicily, but there is a boat that starts in reggio (on the tip of the boot) and ferrys to messina, sicily. It have rails connection, so the train is loaded on the boat on one side and discharged on the other side.

Apparently there are also similar connection between Varna and Odessa (awesome, after the war I'd love to do that). It would be awesome to have them between Ireland and the UK. There's the booze cruise between hollyhead, wales and Dublin. People used to take them during holiday in ireland (because alcohol sales was forbidden) just to get pissed during the crossing and back lmao
