We have the track, just not the companies doing passenger service. The ones we used to have all went bankrupt during the great depression and disappeared. A similar story played out across the Americas in Canada, Brazil, and Argentina, all of which have expansive rail networks, but limited passenger service. As for efficiency, I'll go by amtrak's numbers [1], which claim to be 36% better than domestic air. [1] https://www.amtrak.com/travel-green https://www.amtrak.com/travel-green
