No. The highway goes a lot of places that rail can't. The grades are too steep for rail. Plus, other than I-5 linking San Diego-Los Angeles-Sacramento, there other interstates are kind of a road to nowhere. Especially at the time they were being built. I-40 runs across nothing but dessert and then dead ends at Barstow, while I-15 is nothing but desert outside of San Diego and Los Angeles. And again, at the time the interstate is being built, Las Vegas isn't the city it is todayWhile seriously unlikely, I have wondered if in states like California, as they were building out their impressive highway system, they could have designed them to include passenger rail, light, medium, or heavy.
