This is a bad comparison. Germany is generally a fairly dense country, whereas Montana is significantly less dense. It should be compared to a state like Texas or California, which have significantly more people.
This is not to say by the way that non-dense places don't deserve good transit, nor that having many trains is a bad idea, rather that Montana probably doesn't need 150 trains per day (at least not yet :train-shining: ). It could do a damn sight better than the current 2 trains per day in the entire state, one each way.

Also, population density is also a part of planning a society, it doesn't happen by accident.

There are places West of the Rockies that are more desolate than the Australian outback.
