Lots, because a train is heavy. A 500 gallon fuel tank is small.

BUT ... the amount of fuel used to move a ton of freight is roughly one quarter what it takes to move it by truck (and a tenth of what it takes to fly it).

Is it cheaper to travel by train or by plane in general?

It depends on distance and booking time. For short trips like San Diego to Los Angeles, trains are usually cheaper once you count airport transfers, baggage fees, and time. For long distances, budget airlines often beat trains, especially when booked early. In Europe and Asia, high-speed rail competes well. Compare total costs, including getting to stations or airports, before deciding.
