Not cross country, Seattle to Portland was bad enough.
Amtrak doesn’t have “right of way” on the rails, which means if a freight train needs to get through, the passenger train pulls off onto a side rail to let the freight through.
We sat for 3 hours in the middle of nowhere waiting for a freight train.
