Neither do I. One of my most relaxing trips was taking the "Montrealer" from VT to Montreal. The "Canadian" from Montreal to Regina SK. Then a long 2 month bike trip south through the western states finishing near Santa Fe NM. Finally a return east on the "Southwest Chief" and "Lake Shore Limited" Yes, there is a bit of romanticism in those route names and each train ride was 3 days of anticipation of and reflection on a wonderful bike trip.
