I am a bit partial because i am european and there the options are far more abundant both in quantity and quality, so we are raised using and enjoying trains, much more than average people in North America, but i tried Amtrak Montreal-New York (10 hours trip on way) and i only have good things to say about it.
The seats were large and there was lots of leg room. The views were fantastic since we crossed the Appalachian mountains. Every now and then there was a long stop so i was able to buy food so in that regard, no problem for me. Besides, reading in a train is a pleasure, the rockng motion of the train makes me read for hours.
Plus, no check-in, no body search, no turbulence, less carbon emitted to the atmosphere, no delays, no cancelled flight. And the best thing was that the final stations were beautiful!
Another thing i noticed was that Amtrak workers seemed a lot nicer than air hostesses... They look like they enjoy more their job than people in the airports/planes.
Did i say the price was only 60 USD each way? That was awesome!
