Kinda misses the point of the experience, though.

You mean the jerking, bumping, swaying and noise?

Hee hee! Agreed.

My parents used to LOVE that part of train travel. They said the
bumping, swaying and noise made for a great night's sleep.

And my grandfather worked for Santa Fe, so trains were in my family
blood.

Personally, I think trains are cool (one of my fondest memories is of
taking the Santa Fe Super Chief from Chicago to LA as a child), but
I'll fly any time over them. Too slow and clunky to make them viable
cross-country transportation.
