Good point. These threads always go a little crazy but there are many areas of the country should have regional fast rail service, between 80-120 mph service. The goal is to connect metro areas, not get you from CA to NY in 12 hours.
The cross country train market will always be a niche market, but will always be funded by the federal government, in the same way we fund roads and other infrastructure. Amtrak is still around, in part because there are many legislators in rural areas of the country, especially the more sparsely populated Midwest and western states who have communities that consider Amtrak a primary transportation option/business driver for small communities.
