Amtrak rail service between Detroit and Chicago is decent. But you
have to have a bit of time to spare. If it was high-speed rail and
less expensive than air travel, it would be a great thing.

It's the distance between cities that kills rail here.
Except on the east coast, travel times between big cities require an
overnight ride.
Planes are so much faster for anything over 200 miles.
Been that way since 1947...

Obviously, you have never experienced Amtrak - the airline of the
railways.
It's not that bad everywhere Amtrak runs ...
Still, it doesn't make sense that every other country in the world
seems to
be able to figure out how to get passenger trains to go where they're
needed, pretty much when they're needed, in a fairly efficient
expeditious,
affordable manner, but we can't do it in the U.S.
Rail travel was the treat of my 2004 visit to Scotland. All the
major cities
and many of the minor ones were connected by rail.
Of course, they also had comfortable, convenient inter-city bus
service as
well.
