Well, it certainly works in a lot of the world. I can see where it might work in the North East—DC to NY to Boston if only the right of way could be obtained, which might not be possible. Shinkansen shares tracks with no other trains, has no level crossings, etc. I don’t how much a setup like that would cost in N.E. corridor.

California? Maybe not so much unless the government banned air travel and even then, would that fill the trains?

Cross country in a nation the size of USA? No nation roughly our size (China, Russia, Canada, Australia, Brazil) has attempted such a thing.

Except in the USA.
