Light the Halo (Geoff) often takes the train from LA to seattle and has posted on facebook how much he has enjoyed traveling that way.

my grandparents refused to fly so they always took the train from chicago to LA. they were convinced that every single plane was going to crash. they enjoyed traveling that way.

as others have mentioned, the ability to get up and move around and not be packed in tight like on a plane is a real nice benefit. i'd do a cross country train trip if i had the time. enjoy.

I forgot Geoff (the good one) goes up to Seattle all the time, I'll send him a note.

that sounds awesome. 

never done it in the states but traveled by train around europe a ton. the train across the countryside in Norway though the fjords will change your life!

i say go for it. post pics.

ps first class always worth it on trains. 

That norway fjords train is super high on my list. 

For the US, maybe ride the train for part of but rent a car for others? I know youre in to photography...if youre like me youll want to randomly pull over and get shots of things you see along the way.

The only difference I could find in Swedish trains was double the price and a few people per car vs nobody per car.   In third world countries it's worth 10x the cost sometimes.
