The thing is the rail network was pretty comprehensive at one point. Only a few remain.

It still is, if you're a piece of rail freight.

Even for freight, it used to be better. My tiny rural town used to be serviced by a rail line hauling passengers, timber, and agriculture, but it was gone before I was even born. You can still see some of the old tracks if you know where to look.
