You might be able to drive faster than Amtrak between NOLA and L.A.
I rode Amtrak 20 years ago from El Paso to Lafayette.
From El Paso to Houston the train was flying at 60 mph.
Between Beaumont and Lafayette we never went faster than 20 mph due to poor track conditions.

I've found that to be the opposite, honestly
Flying most places over there is pretty inexpensive because of the short distances, but inner-country trips on trains is highly affective and inexpensive

Amtrak is almost fully subsidized by the govt. You need to reset your expectations.
Nope, sadly it’s worse. They are heavily subsidized by the freight railroads too, in that they run for next to nothing.
Imagine being so bad a business model that even with nearly all your fixed operating costs paid for…you still set money on fire like that’s actually your model.
