I'd hop a freight car before I rode Amtrak. YMMV, of course.
:iagree: about the Europe part.

My wife and I have taken the high speed train from Amsterdam to Paris (same one they made a movie about a few years ago), and we also travelled by train throughout Italy a few years ago. It's a great way to see the countryside, plus you get to mingle with locals as we did not encounter a single American on the 6 total trips we took. There was a learning curve in Italy as well as a language barrier, but we figured it out and it made for a great adventure.

One note, at least in Italy, they don't assign a track number for your train until very shortly before your train leaves, so you might find yourself running across the 20+ tracks at the last minute. Also, no point in showing up more than 15 minutes early for the same reason.
I used the train many times in Germany in the 70s and 80s. I would not now. 15:17 to Paris. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_15:17_to_Paris
