Train rides <= 3 hours are also often faster than the related flight when you account for airports usually beeing more far out of the city and all the time you waste within the airport. Also if you connect 2 cities without major airport (which would lead to having to change plane) i found this rule to be true for 7+ hours train rides as well.
