Distances aren't that much of a problem, and many electrified lines
extend for great distances.

Additionally, a small fraction of a network tends to handle a large
fraction of the traffic, and only that small fraction need be
electrified.

The advantage of electrification is that you can haul heavier loads
with electric locomotives.
