No, but the routes which makes sense should be served, reliving the need for relatively inefficient air service.
For example, NYC to Washington DC. That's about 230 miles, or about an hour. I'd imagine that such a rail service could charge a good premium for the speed to all these business and gov people.
Air would be tremendously slower; just the overhead at both ends would probably be in excess of 3 hours.
