Look at Amtrak if you want to see a nationalized rail service. Outside of a few northeast lines, it's a complete disaster. It's hard to imagine how a national passenger network could be worse.

I must be crazy for enjoying taking the train, I've never even taken them in the northeast. The only disaster I see is that we're not building high speed lines, and that passenger trains take a backseat to anything that the oligarchs who own the lines want to run through.
