> Electric freight locomotives are perfectly common in countries where railroading isn’t still stuck in the 1800s.

But in those countries electrification is widespread enough that intermodal trains can run on electric traction all the way from terminal to terminal. (And bulk trains at the very least from the nearest marshalling yard, or maybe even the freight terminal itself, too.)
