Has anyone traveled long distances by Amtrak train?

I was kicking around an idea today for a cool summer vacation. It would entail taking Amtrak from where I live (Portland, OR) across the country to New York. Spend a week or so there then head down to Washington DC and spend a week there. After seeing those two places take the train back across the country to Arizona where I would check out the Grand Canyon then either fly home from there or rent a car and take a road trip.

The train rides are long, but it isn't too expensive to get one of the cabin rooms so you have a comfy chair, your own toilet and a bed to sleep in.

Anyone ever done anything like this and are the cabins decent? Any words of advice?
