    Not sure what you imagine is anytime soon

    At least few years, most likely many more. Even if the transition starts now, railway is massive investment. While there are signs of global reneissance of railways, overwhelming most of it is in China. As you can see from the example of California, US have much problems with even the most needed infrastructure, and Europe is entering energy crisis that optimistically will saw massive shift towards clean energy and sustainable transport, but it might as well be just a collapse, or most likely something between.

    World solar and wind power combined last year went on to become bigger than world nuclear power and both are on their way to eclipse nuclear individually this decade.

    Yes, but my point was that big sea transport will be last or close to last to be affected by it due to pure cost effectiveness of such transport. The first one would be small scale land transport.
