As a fan of my local airport - Atlanta, the train is the best option for getting to the airport. I do wish ours ran 24/7 for early and late flights. And that the train went further outside the immediate city, but I make all my friends take the train and pick them up from the station closest to me/events.
I, too, live in Atlanta, but our train is great if you live close to a stop. I am about 20 minutes away from the northernmost stop, which I still take to get to the airport or the city during the day. We need more trains in the city, especially around the 85 corridor! The city has outgrown what was laid 30 years ago.
I did have an airport line that continues just over the border into Georgia, but a bus to downtown would probably feel more direct even if it took about as long from a would-be Amtrak station, situated good for both a Chicago-Florida train as well as for a potential Knoxville service
