If you're going by railroad take the train. It will be faster and more comfortable.

Yellowstone? I've thought of takgin the train out there myself.

A coworker of mine took a train trip through a portion of Canada.....she said it was absolutely amazing. I would like to do that one day, too.

I recently had an adventure on a train and to be honest it wasn't all that great. I think we have a tendecny to romanticize the expereince of going by train, it can be rather hard on the body. I went from Oregon to Ohio by train, spent a total of 8 days aboard and after the first 2 days the novelty wore off. It is true I got to see some amazing scenes out my window, and at times met some interesting people, the entirety of the trip and what it cost really wasn't worth it. Perhaps taking the train overnight or even a day trip is fine, but 3-4 days like I said does indeed come with multiple challenges.
