New trains are very sexy, but what’s really needed is the very unsexy difficult track replacement and enforcing passenger train right of way. (Which may involve side pass extensions and/or freight train length restrictions) More people will travel if the times go down. Maybe the new trains will increase comfort which I could see being a draw.

Indeed. "Shinkansen" in Japanese -> "new trunk line" -- in Japan, entirely separate rail lines were built in the early 1960s to support faster train designs. There are speed limits inherent to the existing track infrastructure in the U.S.
