You're welcome in advance.
I don't think people making cross-country train trips are doing so for the convenience or to save money. As you can imagine, it's sort of a cool way to "see America" from the romantic perspective of how the West was first reached by Americans. A friend of mine did it this past summer, and though he said he would never do it again, it was a cool experience. A lot of the US between the Mississippi and the West Coast is still pretty untouched.
