I’ve considered Amtrak in the past, but it’s not a reasonable travel method if you don’t have all the time in the world. I could drive quicker, and that by taking a lot of stops.
Actually trains are fantastic - if you live very near.
There is none of the nonsense about airports and all the extra wasted time added on there. Further, airports are usually located well away from the actual points of interest, whereas the train is right in there (NYC, to wit).
Air is only worth it after a certain distance….maybe. Not sure what that is….maybe a 3-hr trip on train is the limit.
It takes as long to drive to your destination and you are worn out doing it. Might as well enjoy the rest.
