Whenever I looked into traveling with Amtrack, it has been very expensive; often moreso than by airplane! Also, they had wonky departure times, like 3 am. Still would love to travel by train though!
Greyhound. I guess they are the cheapest way to travel, depending what city you're trying to get to. My DD's friend flew to Boston for $120. (We're in NE Ohio. ABout 1 1/2 hour flight, if that.)
If you do go Greyhound sit up front. The partyers seems to occupy the back seats, so I'm told.
