No! The original answer was WRONG! @zergar found a further one, from Kemijärvi to Lagos. I was not even aware there were still trains to Kemijärvi!

Transport Minister Lulu Ranne (Finns) says a long-delayed cross-border train to Sweden should begin rolling this summer, allowing passengers to ride the rails from continental Europe to Finnish Lapland, or overland between the Finnish and Swedish capitals.

The challenge of course is: Germany
You could plan the whole thing and then "Personen im Gleis" knocks you off at Hildesheim and you're then left stranded for 24 hours at Badajoz

@jon the development in Germany is incredible.
I Traveled from Tampere to Freiburg just a few years ago without a hitch (required a short walk from Finland to Haparanda station, that's better now).
And recently a trip to Belgium required two sleepovers and a hitchike because of missed connections.

@jon as VR still runs rovaniemi -> kemijärvi once a day, isn't that even a thad (~80km) farther? (Although it might take a day longer, as you have to connect 2 night trains via kemi)
