Actually trains are pretty useful in Illinois if you're going south - but the problem is they're not much faster than taking a car. Why should I pay $40 to take a train for a 2 hour ride from Chicago down to where onodrim goes to school when I could just take a car for a 2.5 hour drive?

Trains serve most larger cities from what I can tell (although I do remember noticing a few obvious places missing service last time I looked at a map of Amtrack's service), but the speed is just not worth it at all. They're way too slow considering what technology is capable of.
