On the other hand, if there was a reliable way to make a round trip by train in a day with eight hours at the destination, I would definitely prefer that to a flight. Unfortunately, I have never lived in a US city with train service that could support that.
When I was a Federal employee, we were not allowed to take Amtrak from Washington, DC to New York City, 200 miles. We had to fly because it was cheaper. So, we flew to LaGuardia Airport and took a taxi into Manhattan. Go figure.
