Plus train stations can be located in much more convenient locations (directly in city centers), so even though your time in the air may be less time than you would be on a train, door-to-door home-to-destination may be faster.

Running track through states with more cattle than people would be a waste of capital. Flights from NYC to DC are barely long enough to get to cruising altitude. HSR would be great for that segment.
