That's not really a realistic depiction of how trains work though. If you can get an express bullet train that doesn't stop or have to wait for any other trains between those two points, then maybe you can roughly use that 200mph as a calculation.
Smaller countries work again because the distances are small enough they can build it economically and because there are a limited number of major destinations. For every person who wants to go Atlanta to New York there's a person who wants to go Atlanta to Boston, or Atlanta to DC or Atlanta to Chicago etc... it's going to be a regional network connected together with stops and with changes and it's going to suck. The economics just aren't going to line up.
