Yes. When I - a German person - want to travel to Malta, I should absolutely do the train/boat combo rather than take a plane. It would only take 41 hours, according to Google Maps.

American east coast has better train service, that is in good use. In the west the train service is extremely sparse and passenger service even less common.
