djtestudo is right though...the key to the future of rail travel in the US is high speed. Our rail system is pathetic compared to many other developed countries and I have full confidence that if rail travel times were drastically cut, people would be much more willing to take advantage of them.
Like others have pointed out, the government holds up the airline industry, why is rail less useful for the public? (In fact, I'd argue it's more useful - those people afraid to fly, etc.) If the government is going to subsidize travel, then do it. Or don't do it for either of them.
