US trains are not worth it in coach. A Greyhound bus is more comfortable with the same amenities and takes about the same time.
If you have lots of money to burn, a train with the sleeper car or roomette is a better experience. You can at least lay down and have more room to relax, the windows are less grimy, you get better shades, lights, and much more room to lay down and relax.
The whole point of mass transit is it's not a car, so comparing it to driving is apples and oranges.
