Well, that is if there "IS" Amtrack.
 
The northern line which runs from St.Paul (I think) to somewhere Seattle uses Burlington-Northern tracks where priority if given to freight trains. A full day's delay on arrival is not uncommon.
 
I once drove a Trailways bus transcontinental from LA to NYC (and other routes). 4 days. Recently I looked into doing it again for fun, busses with wifi etc ... it was costlier than flying 6 hours.
