Very sharp commentary all around! I was about to suggest adding extra doors to the aircraft when I realized that extra gates would have to be built to serve them, etc etc..... how much cheaper a rail platform is! I agree with you view of the political situation, as well as employer's views of air travel. Telecommuting may mitigate this some but not all. Which brings up another point... most airlines, (if not all?) do not allow you to utilize laptop computers on board. This has never been the case in rail, and certainly one of the pluses of rail could be the provision of internet access, ala hotels, so that business could be conducted on board. Also, as in Canada and Europe, overnight trains may be the most practical. It allows longer schedules and greater distances to be covered, and reduces costs in that no hotel room is required unless a stay is more than a single day affair.
