ive travelled long distance by amtrak a few times in my life, no real complaints past... dont drink too much, a hangover on a train is 10x worse then on land.

one trick i picked up was, findout which lags have lower ridership and dont book the cabin before boarding, just get the ticket. then once on board they will slash the prices trying to squeeze a few extra bucks out of the folks willing to upgrade.

cabins are nice to have, as having one will get you access to different dining areas and "activities"(how i ended up hung over)

all in all, if you have the time, its a great way to see the countryside and meet a few people along the way.
