It’s worse than the 1800s. We used to have an expansive rail network. We had, at the peak, 400,000 or so miles of rail in the US. Today there is less than 140,000 miles of rail. Less than half of what we used to have. Sure, we’ve got more buses and light rail like subway, but overall it’s still a loss in total miles.
