Metro North Railroad, in New York, had installed phones on their trains,
at least on the New Haven line EMUs in the late '90s, though the
explosion of GSM service has since seen their demise.


Same thing here in Oregon and Washington with pay phones in the Cascades
Talgo trains. When the trains were built in the mid-1990s there was
still enough pay phone use for them to install pay phones in the
vestibule areas between the cars. They had a modular phone receptacle
in the side so that if you needed to contact someone with your computer
and modem you could do it, but of course only for short periods as they
didn't want people hogging the phones.

When the trains were rebuilt a few years ago the pay phones were
removed, and today they have WiFi on board.
