The superior way to travel distances. Cafe car. Comfortable seats and space. Chargers. Big windows. You can meet people and watch the world go by. Exceedingly convenient. I have gone across the country on Amtrak. I take it round trip once a week to work. I love it dearly. I think people that complain it’s consistently inconvenient or slow are not living live for the love of the game and do not subject themselves to a healthy amount of adventure.
From a personal experience: half priced dinner, contemplative wandering through the showroom, wondering if no one else in Ikea on a Friday night is real. Very healing.
