The market has spoken in that matter.
I'll consider the train when I have DAYS to get somewhere, and being an ex-railroad engineer, you don't want to know of the hazards of rail travel.

That is why I make the time to have days to travel on train. I have been traveling by train on and off for the last 15 years or more. I have had family who travels even more then I do.
On a train you don't have to pay extra for bagage and carry-ons. You have beautiful views and a nice comfy seat even in coach. The food is good and the people are interesting.
If people weren't so much in a hurry and if the U.S would make the railways more available and faster then the airlines will get a clue and going back to treating their passangers with more respect.
