When I was younger, I was petrified to fly in an Airplane. (Older now, grew up, and fly in Airplanes 
)
So when I had to go Florida I left NYC in an Amtrak train that took between 26 to 32 hours "one way" to get there!
It depended on problems they had alone the way. And the same going home.
One time we hit a car that was crossing over a "train track crossing"! The car misjudged the train speed!
One time the train hit some metal debris on the train tracks and it bounced up under the bottom of the train and cut the hydraulic brake lines between the coupling of the train cars! We were stuck 4 hours, for them to send
out to get the hoses, and then they had to replace the cut brake lines.
At least I had a Sleeper Cabin! And the Dining car had good food! So that made it somewhat easier for me.
