I don't think it's that simple. It costs $25 million per mile of highway. Rail is even more expensive. A huge overhaul like that would be an insane amount of money, the government cannot do it alone.

A bill is in place right now worth $40 billion for the DC/New England area to get a faster, better rail system in place. That's a start... the next important area, I would think, would be the West Coast.
