Rail travel is completely awesome in Europe -- I found it extremely convenient...but they also have a century of infrastructure, development, and culture to back it up. It works great for them.
We would have to drop HUGE coin to build that infrastructure we don't have in the US, and even then most "car culture" Americans wouldn't use it.
Half century old really. I think if we did have the infrastructure it would be a huge success in many areas of the country. Maybe not so much in the deep south or the barren midwest, but definately on the east coast/ west coast and perhaps along Lake Michigan's shore.
