Oh, we all know what trains are. They come through our towns constantly. Unfortunately, usually only carrying freight. But Amtrak does have a line going through Indianapolis and there is a commuter line running through a lot of northern Indiana, so it’s not as dire as it could be.
Idk about the middle unless they can make it more convenient than Chicago’s passenger rail system. Sometimes you’ve gotta do this ridiculously long detour to cross the pedestrian bridge because they put transit stops in the middle of the highway. Like sorry but a highway is not a destination.
Maybe reduce the highway from 12 to 8 lanes and build a train line in the middle that can “charge” moving trains.
As an Indiana resident, the vast, vast majority of our highways and interstates are two lanes each direction.
Also, the vast majority of Indiana residents would not know how to use a train. May not even know what it is.

It needs to be far better though.
Boilermakers crying emoji.
And how would this magic train transport me to the Walmart parking lot? Does it also drive to my flat? No, I don’t think so. /s

In the US, trains are generally used for freight transport, not passenger transport.
