Isn't it possible that the rail passenger concept did not survive because the travel speeds did not keep up with societal evolution? Remember, it was back in the 1930's when talk of 100 mph travel was commonplace, while most autos and trucks were still traveling 40 to 50 mph. Railroads had the speed advantage, but lost it when dieselization took hold. Lugging power isn't a necessity for passenger travel.
