I've tried to give Amtrak a chance. But I don't live in the northeastern part of the USA. So I would have to drive a few hours to get to a train station, then spend 24 hours longer on the train than I could drive in a car. And it would cost me a lot more to ride the train than to drive myself.
I think there is more than one reason that Americans "never give it a chance".
