Um .. Russia? Lower population density, larger land mass and vastly larger and superior high speed rail infrastructure. No sorry, for US distances we're still super behind.

I doubt I'd get on board a Russian jet.

Here in the US where jet travel is safe, it makes no sense to get on board a train when you can fly there so much more quickly.

Adding in high speed trains doesn't change that. They're just too slow to make a difference.
