What train were you on?  I went by train from Windsor (next to Detroit).
Three separate trains, all comfortable and on time, less than half the cost
of flying.  There was power at every seat and free high speed wireless
Internet service that worked most of the time.  And no TSA goons.  But no
free food or wine, just a snack cart.
