I suspect that a rail outing could be arrainged, _if_ somebody were to 
sink a god awful amount of time into the preparation. You can put a 
passenger car into a freight train...

The advantage would be a potientially interesting ride through American 
infrastructure the overwhelming majority of people never see.

The disadvantage would be a slow trip for a probably ridiculous price and 
a lot of work.

Of course there is the option of a tour bus...
