Fast trains so that you can be restricted in exactly when you can visit and still pay for it. And then have to walk the rest of the distance from the train station to her house. There is so many flaws people just ~~fail~~ refuse to see.
Oh no, I can only take the train to Grandma once or twice per hour* during the daytime! The calamity!
*Yes, those are absolutely realistic time tables for train connections, Europe has those.
Not in us, because cities are more spread out, even with better infrastructure it would still be every 6-7 hours or more.
There are many places in the US with the density of Europe or Asia. And those are all the places trains are being built.
