Yeah, I've been using trains for travel in the northeast lately.

It's less travel time, there's no ridiculous security theater, and I don't get these nickel and dime charges for checked bags.

I did enjoy taking Amtrak between Philly and DC a few years ago - as long it wasn't raining, that is.

I'm fairly resilient to uncomfortable travel unless it's actively painful like ear popping sometimes, so I usually just choose on price and speed most of the time.
