Maybe, but I'd worry about more places to possibly stop would mean ... lots of requests for stops.
One thing watching folks talk about rail locally is that all these little towns that down't want it ... unless you're going to stop a 10 times a day at their town.
True, but having trains stop in Rochester MN and Waterloo IA makes sense if the track is already close. (Note I didn't say the same train - scheduling is more complex as is the track which now needs switches, but express trains that bypass the small towns make sense)
You wouldn't do the track across WI without looking that the bigger cities in the way and deciding where to stop. You wouldn't stop in every small town, but the bigger towns...

At some point it all stops making sense then.
