Barely. Cross country train travel is a novelty in this country these days. Freight rules the rails, and passengers are an afterthought.

Those songs "City of New Orleans" and "The Gambler" or "Folsom Prison" romanticize things that are no more. Don't even get me started on the ass fucking the railroad unions got recently. Rail travel is dead in this country,.
