You gonna build a bullet train across the ocean?
No, planes are good for that. But there's a ton of domestic travel that could easily be replaced with a decent rail network.
Yes, it's always going to be unfeasible to cross the Atlantic or Pacific by train.
But the vast, vast majority of air journeys taken every day aren't trans-oceanic ones. Most journeys are between destinations within the Americas or within Eurasia and Africa. There are an awful lot of journeys by plane that could be moved to trains if the infrastructure was right.
