Waterway Map
Hello! I'm the creator of WaterwayMap.org.
The code is here: <https://github.com/amandasaurus/waterwaymap.org/> if you want to file a bug report or feature request. The main code to calculate the network is `osm-lump-ways`: <https://github.com/amandasaurus/osm-lump-ways>

Waterway Map
Looks nice but it's probably not really usable for navigation. I checked the Netherlands and Germany. You'd need more details for safely navigating on the water. But it definitely has potential.
There are also some other specialized open street map based maps for
- rails: https://www.openrailwaymap.org/
- cycling: https://www.opencyclemap.org/
- sea map (competes with this I guess, and is a bit more detailed for navigation): https://map.openseamap.org/
And probably loads of other ones.

We need a train connecting Erie to Pittsburgh again!!
The other thing to take into account is where they would need to build routes to make it happen. Looking at https://www.openrailwaymap.org/, there's some spots that need to be filled in to make a Pittsburgh <-> Erie line. But, I could see Meadville and New Castle being at least two of the stops on the way.

Reading Eagle: Reading to Philadelphia train takes a major step forward as it gets federal funding
The Amtrak plan I linked shows it following the Norfolk-Southern Harrisburg line. It would come from Reading and Phoenixville, through KOP, then join up with the Trenton line near Rte1 and head towards 30th St. From there it looks like it would follow the remainder of the Keystone route. You can follow the path here too:https://www.openrailwaymap.org/

The night train revolution has been hailed as an alternative to airplanes
France has an excellent high speed rail network it has less need for domestic flights. Other countries in the EU could learn from that.
Germany particularly is a basket case. If you take the "high speed" train from Berlin to Köln, it takes nearly five hours, the train stops lots of times, and with the exception of a few tens of kilometers never hits anywhere near its maximum speed. Combined with all the delays, cancelled trains, strikes, etc. It makes for a bit unpredictable experience. Domestic flights are well under 1 hour, typically. Even with the hassle of getting to and from airports, it's way faster.
https://www.openrailwaymap.org/ has a nice map that you can show the maximum speeds on rail segments. Spain and France are the best. I've taken high speed trains in both and their high speed trains go the maximum speed most of the journey. Germany is notable for just not having a lot of rail suitable for its trains to drive their maximum speed.
Germany could do a lot better. But it will require massive investments.
I think the idea of a night train is more attractive than the reality of it being very slow, expensive, and relatively uncomfortable (at least I never managed to sleep well on one).
IMHO domestic flights in many countries can start transitioning to fully electric hops in the next decade or so. Anything under 700 miles is fair game for that. The battery technology is getting there. So, investing in lots of rail might not be the smartest thing.
