Every attempt to create links with the land of the unclean and the valleys usually dies off rather quickly. Not enough people use the services and so they're not remotely profitable. Train links only work if the service is regular enough and the commute from stations at either end is relatively painless - no point using a train if you work in Amazon for example.
I'm all for your idea, I think it's great and needed, but it would cost a fortune and never be profitable.
