Are passenger trains entering a golden age or reaching the end of the line?

Nothing we don’t already know unfortunately.

There was a golden age for passenger trains in Europe, too. IMHO, it was from the 1970s to the early 2000s. I only experienced Europe in the 1990s and early 2000s. All of my trips were on time, and the trains were comfortable. The Eurail pass was easy to use. Now, even Germany and France have issues. And the Eurail pass is not the deal it once was because seat reservations in France, Spain, and Italy are difficult to obtain.
