There could be rapid trains between major city clusters and light rail networks within those cities, so you could, say, take a light rail from your neighborhood to the central hub, then a fast train to another city, then a light rail to your destination.
I’m not saying NYC to LA, but NYC to Philly/Boston/DC and LA to Albuquerque, Vegas, Salt Lake City, even Denver.

That would be a crazy undertaking, but very cool
A lovely thought, but I’m too rural for it to be a possibility in my lifetime, even if things seemed headed that way now.
