Flying for me represents step 1 to an adventure, seeing family, or a in person work/business colab. So from that point of view I want to fly as much as possible.
Train represents a potential for the same travel but usually looks worse in contrast to flying in terms of money and time.
So unless taking the train is the point in and of itself (as in my Vienna to Venice adventure) it's seldom worth it. So yes I don't think I want to fly less.
The one exception to that is with little kids. NYC to Cleveland is a sub-hour flight or a 7 hour drive. As a single guy I flew. Now I drive at night so the wife and kids can sleep through it. Maybe that's a bit analogous to the night train though it's also very cheap.
