Hah, I invented something like this in my head for amusement, except mine used swappable modular carriage pods that plugged into the train from the side, and a steam catapult for high-gee synchronization and emplacement. I can't see a sensible use for it though.

It would eliminate the hassles of car rental (especially if the rail stations aren't near airports), obviate the need for checked luggage, and mitigate the increased travel time compared to flying.
