So take a train at night and get some sleep? That's usually how rest of the world deals with long distance travel. Plus, not driving for 18 hours sounds a much better alternative in any scenario.

Dude I left at fucking 8 in the morning from LA and didnt get to seattle till like 5 in the afternoon the nex day. The problem for me though is that I had nothing to focus on, I dont have such problems driving. Also the train only left in the morning, so yeah. 34 hour trip is fucking horrible.

Nah. Just take like 4 Ambien and sleep for that entire 34 hour train ride.

I drove Seattle to LA over the summer. Did it over two days. It wasn't pleasant per se. But I got to sleep in a real bed. Took an impromptu trip to San Jose (Winchester house). Found some good taco trucks. And still got there in half the time a train would. The train just doesn't make sense for us, not on long trips at least.

Yeah without some major improvements they just trains are only viable for say Redlands to LA. People seem to forget just how fucken big the US is, California alone is larger the Britain FFS.

Also I wish I could take sleeping pills, but between the Autism and my bodies resistences they just make me pissy.
