Except Amtrak.
Took my sis 50+ hours to get from SF to Chicago.
One could drive it in that time and get a good nights rest at a Holiday Inn on the way.
“...Except Amtrak.”
In my college days I did the NY-Dallas / Dallas-NY Amtrak. One of the advantages of Amtrak was the “bar on wheels.” Back then states’ drinking ages varied - made it interesting at times as who got served. Left one’s luggage back at some seat where one could catch zzzzz’s; no theft, no “unattended baggage” crap. Freedom in America!
