You’re forgetting a few facts there, Willie:

- That AMTRAK train is subsidized $80 round trip

- It’s slower than driving

- Your costs are only when the tickets are bought a month or more in advance; it doesn’t apply to 2-3 day pre-buys (like my airfare does)

So how much will it cost, Willie? What is the general number? You’ve never stated that - ever. I wonder why?

That's cool... It's sorta like getting a $80 rebate on your taxes every time you travel!!!

- It’s slower than driving

Why waste all that time driving when I can be surfing the Internet on Amtrak's free wifi???

- Your costs are only when the tickets are bought a month or more in advance; it doesn’t apply to 2-3 day pre-buys (like my airfare does)

Even if purchased at the last moment, Amtrak is half of what air fare costs.
But the prices I cited were normal fares.
Amtrak offers a variety of discounts and deals for frequent travelers.
