Roman Catholic Church Pews are more comfortable
>Amtrak train actually arriving on time
More like, leave the cold concrete benches, go out to the dingy platform when the train is supposed to arrive then wait there 15+ minutes (or more) while some stale water drips from a stalactite next to chipped paint.
Train finally arrives, door opens way down on the other end of the platform and the conductor steps out.
Drag the bags all the way down to the other end and haul them on.
>kids play handhelds, or thumb wrestle, or just snack and walk around the aisles to stretch their legs
Other than walking in the aisles, all that's the same on a plane too. Except every 6-8 hours on a train is like 45 minutes on a plane, so your kids would spend much less time rotting their brains on handhelds.

The train where they let you ship your car along with you is great though.
