- Narvik, Norway in the arctic circle
- Batumi, Georgia (through the balkans and Turkey)

if you also include ferries, you can get as far as:

- various points within Morocco, Algeria or Tunisia (Morocco has high-speed trains of all nations!! SNCF built them after they gave up trying to do it for California...)
- Seydisfjördur, Iceland
- or board an ocean liner to New York and cross the American continent on trains either through the USA, or Canada. not to Alaska, though.

the main obstacles when going further east are:
- Russia being at war
- Azerbaijan still keeping their land borders closed following COVID-19, only letting people enter and exit by air (which I'm sure has nothing to do with the fact that Azerbaijan Airlines is indirectly owned by the ruling family)
- Iran and its... opinions on queer people

there used to be a time where you could get by train to Singapore, or to Japan by train and ferry...
