For grins and/or cringes, I'd like to see a similar site for the US.

There are a few cities with reasonably good commuter-rail service which might compare with some of the European cities. Other than that distance/hour will be a small fraction of that in the EU.

Comparisons with China and Japan might also be illuminating.

There are historical isochrone travel maps of the US, also ironically strongly influenced by railroad development, see:
