I was talking about a straight through run between two major cities.
If you want to see random sites in random small towns or have family out in the country, train becomes a little less practical.

Chicago to Orlando, 2 adults and 2 kids, $425 train fare, 1/3 the air fare. Still more than driving, but removes the need to drive for 20 hours, no need to find a place to stay for the night during the trip, no wear on your car, and better for the environment too.
