Long haul trains in the U.S. are awful.

If you’re riding it it’s for an experience. Not as a practical realistic alternative to traveling instead of flying.

So yeah, people who believe train infrastructure should be high quality enough that they’re a real alternative to flying for the right distances will not be keen on traveling on the terrible sight seeing focused (I’m being generous here) long haul trains in the U.S.

I agree that train infrastructure isn't good, much less good enough. I was merely making some commentary along the lines of "put your money where your mouth is."
