When we were in Berlin 3 years ago, we took a 1 hour train ride to visit some relatives out of town. We walked to the subway from our hotel. Took the subway to the main train station that just opened. Bought a train ticket at the kiosk. Went to the right platform. Waited 10 min for the train and hopped on when it got their. Found a seat, and enjoyed the ride. No muss, no fuss.

I know it would take a huge investment to get a system like that up and running here in the states, but we have to start some where. And if we do not start now, it will cost even more later on.

I do not think air travel has to say good bye. I think they can work in tandem. Plans for long distance, trains for shorter distance.
