Not really defending our horrid rail system here, but there is a massive amount of rail line missing from the US map. I work in logistics, I do a lot of rail related work.
I see this brought up often under posts like this one, and it’s usually lines dedicated for freight rail, whereas all of the lines in Europe are either passenger or passenger + freight.
