Amtrak is a failure because of its NE-centric management - it can't see the national picture. The tremendous upsurge of intercity train ridership in California over the past few years was accomplished without any input from Amtrak and, in the early years, the opposition of the Penn Central refugees in Philadelphia HQ. I also think you should look at the census and distances between metro areas. There are only six metropolitan areas with over 5 million population: NYC, LA, Chi., Bay Area, Phil. and Boston. The USA had a better passenger rail system when we had many carriers. For that matter, we had a better air line network than we do with the obviously coming United/American monopoly. A national system of many carriers and having HSR and long haul autoveyer trains serving particularized markets is just what the USA needs.
