When I was in middle school, my family traveled to Oregon from Chicago on Amtrack. Other than getting some motion sickness, I remember enjoying the experience a great deal. The seats are really caught roomy and comfortable. The food in the dining car is better than expected. And best of all you can see some terrfic scenery from the obervation car.
In more recent years before I got my car, I would take the train just a few hours from school to Chicago. Again, it was an overall good experience. The only problem I had was that the train was often running a few hours behind. Frustrating, but not a huge problem. Overall, I think traveling by train is a very cost efficient and pleasant way to travel.
