I took an amtrak from El Paso to Austin one time, took well over two days. I got to the train station early because I heard it was unpredictable; they were four hours late. They stopped overnight in San Antonio for absolutely no reason. Later I realized flying would have been cheaper.
It’s like a 10-12 hour drive if I remember correctly, it’s been a few decades but I still remember how much the whole ordeal pissed me off, having come from a country with functional rail.
