Really, more expensive than flying? The family and I are looking at taking a X-country trip on AMTRAK and it looks to be significantly cheaper than flying. Plus, we will get to see awesome sights.

You lucked out. I periodically have entertained the idea of a long train trip with the family, and it has invariably been a good bit more expensive than just flying. The only time it is even close is on short (say a few hundred miles) trips.
