Besides the other drawbacks that have already been mentioned, most notably the phenomenal cost, once you arrive at your destination, there's no usable public transportation anywhere except in Burlington and Montpelier. How are people who live more than a mile or two from the train stations in Lyndonville, Newport, Hillsboro and all the other dots on your map going to get from their houses to the train and back, especially with everything they bought in their shopping trip to Burlington? There's no buses, Uber or Lyft where I live. There is an unreliable local taxi company, which is an old geezer and his minivan, but I can drive all the way to Burlington for way less than the taxi fare between my house and the nearest train station on your map. Sorry, but if this extensive of a passenger train network to serve a state with this low of a population density was a good idea, someone would already be making a profit doing it.
