You literally just need normal rail infrastructure.
Fuck all talks about high speed rail in the US, you don’t even have normal rail. How do you expect people to stop using their cars if all you will have is rail that ONLY connects metropolises?
Seriously, high speed rail is a prestige project for the most part. It’s nearly useless without a solid local rail infrastructure foundation. If you have to travel 60 miles to the nearest train station via car you might as well drive to your destination fully.
