Yes, and station location is an aspect in which US trains could be made better, by building new ones.

  There is no right place for a train station in a sprawling city. An effective train station needs a certain amount of stuff within walking distance, which is only possible if the city is built that way.

    The best place to build a rain station in a sprawling city is where you can build a small city centre around it. (Hint: it's not asking a highway)

    They didn't become sprawling cities on their own. If you plant down rail, the city reshapes over time. The areas right next to stations becomes high value retail space. Their sales immediately jump up. Rails literally change the commerce and economy around their points.
