This has a bit of a point, when people praise European rail it's probably high speed rail within a country or that goes to a neighboring country. Not whatever train that goes from France to Kazakhstan.
Issue is the US does not even have regional high speed rail. France is banning domestic flights where a train can make the journey is 2.5 hours but the lack of high speed rail makes that not an option in the US just now

It's literally easier to do that in the US lol. There is all sorts of issues with trying to build rail that goes between numerous countries, especially when there is a bunch of huge mountain ranges between these countries.
Even if there isn't the problem of different track types, there are bound to be many major disagreements between the different countries it passes through, and possibly border checks etc. It's kind of a headache, especially if it goes outside the EU too.

I agree it is easier because the US also uses one track type which can be an issue with trains moving internationally.

That "probably"
