It could provide extraordinary scenery and relaxing comfort for however long it lasts, which you can't say for any plane trip these days.
It's 1857 miles so, if the train could average 200 MPH it would take a bit over 9 hours. If it was slower, you can do the math. But getting there as fast as possible is not the #1 priority for everybody. Certainly not for me.
