To the way it once was, never. In many places, these glory days had a train on the tracks a couple times a day in each direction and that was attractive. People were happy sleeping on trains and the time taken to travel was usually less than the alternative of steam boats, dirt roads, or horseback. Even in the best case of NYC where much of its rail infrastructure stayed active, and the area population soared, subway ridership hasn’t bounced back to 1946.
