It seems like youve forgotten what a train is.
A plane is about origin-destination.
Not a train.
You dont need a single person to ride from Sf to Chicago to make the route feasible.
Enough people depend on going from stop 17 to stop 23, from stop 3 to stop 31, from stop 19 to the terminus etc etc.
The airlines dont serve those markets, so amtrak does a better job.
