Video in the bar car.
Alcohol in the bar car.
Both get turned off at midnight.
But, at $5 per 12 oz can, a sixer of Bud will set you back $30.
Not the fastest or the cheapest travel, but the most relaxing by far. I'm not afraid to fly, but the average aggravation at any airport is worth paying for to avoid. And that's before ya strangle some sob that really deserves it...

Most Amtrak trains have a cafe car which serves beer (and foodstuffs). There are no personal TVs on most of Amtrak's equipment, knowing a specific route would help here.
I have ridden Amtrak quite often, and I find the experience to be far better than flying or driving.

Most trains have a cafe car with beverage service. There is just one attendant and a microwave and a cash register, nothing fancy. There is not usually a waitress unless you are on the sleeper you might have a plated dinner option.
There is no TV to watch, just a magazine. However many (but not all) routes on the coasts are equipped with free wifi and every seat has an outlet where you can plug in your personal entertainment devices.

AMTRAK is just Great and there are bars, restaurants, KTV and games.
It's the billionaires way to travel and be free.
Many poor people cannot afford it and have to drive themselves, poor souls.
