Europe is more densely populated than the US. Small cities are rarely far from major cities, and they are usually connected by regional rail. Small remote cities don't really exist in areas where rail traffic makes sense.

That’s a very Western / Central European bias. In fact it probably is a big reason why there’s such a major east/west split that persists today, the rich countries keep building themselves more and more of this type of luxury infra.
