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?

I traveled by train from California to North Carolina once...when I was in the Army. I did not get a sleeper. At least traveling by train you can get up and walk around...make use of the club car...and dinning car. I have never traveled by train since.
