While modern trains are much longer than they used to be and can carry much more tonnage of goods than used to be the case, in total they are used much less today than they were in the period from 1880 - 1955 or thereabouts.
Trains and their tracks were built and owned by the railroads. Highways, and later the interstate highways, were built and owned by the government but used by trucks. So the trucking industry had a financial advantage over trains once trucks became powerful enough to carry large loads long distances.
Today, airplanes and trucks carry a great deal more freight than do trains, in total, and trains carry almost no long-distance passengers, that service now being done primarily by airplanes, buses, and cars.
