The case for replacing air travel with high-speed sleeper trains

I used to take the Broadway Ltd. several times/year between Chicago and Philadelphia; these were the days when the club car still had parties all night long. However, air travel got cheaper (and less pleasant), rail travel more expensive (and less pleasant), and after getting stuck en route in the Johnstown disaster of 1977 I switched permanently. Update the infrastructure, bring back the club car, and drop the price, and I’d happily go back to train travel (though it is not really convenient from where I live nowadays).
