That seems fairly unlikely, but I would expect that intercity trains for intermediate distances might make a comeback. Then again the Federal Government would have to repeal some of tax disincentives that killed them in the first place.

I find that Europeans and people from the UK who have not been here
generally just don't understand this about the USA.  Things are far
apart here, and for the most part we don't have transportation
alternatives.  Most of us don't have access to passenger train
service.  Bus service is very limited, and very slow.  It's driving
in our cars or not getting there.
