And even if it was, Americans would still choose flights over rail.

Depends on how fast the trains are, and how often they stop, how much it costs, and what the experience is like.

I would much prefer a train ride, even if longer, simply due to how extremely unpleasant air travel is. You generally have to add 3 hrs to any trip just to deal with plane BS.

With all that said, the california high speed rail won't be finished until 2029.
So this isn't happening
