Shit. Let me repeat that - shit. You'll wish you'd taken the bus.
Old crappy cars, old crappy tracks, trains fighting for track time with freights that have priority. About the best you can hope for is that your train will only be moderately late.
My best friend was on a train that derailed in Ft. Madison. They basically put the passengers off the train and told them they were on their own.
I can't speak for the quality of the sleeper accomodations or high level food service, but when you consider how bad everything else is, well....
