I mean, the entire US other than the NE corridor, California, and 1 or 2 lines out of Chicago. Besides that small handful, the Amtrak service that's there now sucks so much it may as well not exist.

But in the spirit of OP's question, I guess we should assume any existing rail connection counts as "already connected." So let's look at the Amtrak system map and see where there are holes:

Obvious holes:
  • New York-Scranton-Binghampton
  • Clevaland-Columbus-Dayton-Cincinnati-Louisville
  • Jacksonville-Atlanta-Chattanooga-Nashville-Saint Louis
  • Atlanta-Chattanooga-Knoxville-Kingsport-Roanoke-DC
  • Richmond-Roanoke OR Richmond-Charlottesville
  • Tampa-Sarasota-Naples
  • Dallas-Houston
  • Oklahoma City-Tulsa-Kansas City
  • Milwaukee-Madison
  • Detroit-Flint-Lansing-Grand Rapids
  • Quincy-Saint Louis
  • Atlanta-Tuscaloosa-Jackson-Dallas
  • Denver-Colorado Springs-Albuquerque-El Paso
  • Los Angeles-Las Vegas
  • Los Angeles-Bakersfield
