Planes are actually statistically safer but plane incidents tend to get a lot of media attention. The positive about train travel is you get a lot more space to travel in.

I'm condescending. That means I talk down to you.

Plus. Amtrak has a BAR CAR!!!!!! Prices are a tad high and selection isn't the greatest but.......... That's why I always get a private room and sneak my own in........ LOL

And, I'm never in any kind of a hurry anyway....... When I plan to go somewhere, I always leave plenty of cushion time........

Our trip to DC a few months ago, we got a roomette. The sleeper car is a great way to travel although the train bounces around a lot and it’s a little noisy so hard to sleep but not a bad experience.
