The upstream comment ambiguously suggested a train as a solution to an 8-10 hour door to door LA to NYC travel time. Either that means connecting the airport to the city by rail or the cities themselves. Sub-8-hour LA to NYC by train is beyond any currently known technology. JFK is already connected to NYC’s subway by rail.
