Why do people actually use it? I'm serious. What's the benefit over flying?

Every time I look at Amtrak I’m shocked at how expensive it is.

A cross country trip on Amtrak IS the vacation, not the destination

I think a cost to cost train ride would be fun but not at those prices.

So trains are a cool novelty but inefficient mode of passenger transit. Shocking

They take up space that could be used for freight. Complete waste of resources.
