Why do any of you really care about this. I am not dumb enough to confuse that airplane with a train!

Unfortunately it's not that simple.

Confusion about sponsorship and affiliation, not just identity, can give rise to trademark infringement.

So if some portion of the relevant public believed there was a connection or relationship between an entity providing rail transportation services under the mark "Northern Pacific", and an entity providing air transportation services under the mark "Northern Pacific", then whoever has superior rights in the mark could prevent the other user from using the mark.
