No being herded by TSA like a farm animal (moo!), to be stuffed into a long round aluminum can like a sardine.
In the spring I'll be taking Amtrak's California Zephyr (CZ) from Osceola, IA (OSC) to Sacramento, CA (SAC). In SAC, after a 10 hr layover (if the trains are on time), I get on the Coast Starlight (CS) and continue to my destination - Eugene, OR (EUG). Many say the CZ is the best long distance train trip in the US.
I leave OSC on a Thursday evening and arrive in EUG around mid-day Sunday.
I'll be in Eugene for a week and reverse the train trip leaving EUG on the CS Monday afternoon, switching to the CZ Tuesday morning in SAC, and arriving back at OSC on Thursday morning.
Today the westbound CZ was 2 hours late getting to OSC.
That would shorten my layover in SAC by 2 hours, if the CS out of SAC is on time.
Today the CS was 37 minutes late departing SAC.
