How I wish this was a thing in the U.S. In '04 I traveled by night train from Odessa to Vienna and I have to say the experience is far more pleasant than air travel (even with the somewhat outdated fleet of Ukrainian trains at the time). The perceived passage of time is far shorter and yet you have the opportunity to watch the scenery go by if you wish, or get off for a few minutes on the occasional stop before the train enters the night regime. To say nothing of being able to sleep in a horizontal position...
