I've taken some long train rides - Amtrak to Seattle and San Diego, and the Hudson Bay Railway to Churchill. The trains don't stop often enough, nor where I want to stop. Add in a few car rentals or bus rides, and there's no economic advantage to a train. Trains are amazingly roomy places to sit and enjoy the view all day long, though.
