I used to make the trek from Dallas to LA a few times a year. I have tried flying, I have tried driving, but I've never taken the train. Travelling solo, the flying can have you in the other city within a few hours. Driving solo takes about 24 hours. Booking a train shows arrival in 48 hours. Just not even in a realistic time frame.

Last time I had a trip from Boston to Chicago, I briefly look a look at the train. It would have been a long overnight trip and cost about 3x the plane if I got a sleeping compartment. Just made no sense.

Although I've done it, even doing the whole Northeast Corridor is a stretch. DC is a pretty short flight from Boston whereas it's a full day by train.
