If I wanted to go Coast to Coast on a train as a vacation (with any starting and finish), what's the coolest/beautifulest/sight-worthy route to take?

Unfortunately no trains make that run directly so you will need a transfer, I am going to say the best journey would be Cresent to City of New Orleans to California Zephyr, from there you are in the Bay Area and can do what ever you want. That will give you views of the east coast, the Appalachian, the rocky mountains, the Mississippi delta, and the praire. It will be longer but I think the views are worth it if you are traveling to see them. Also if you want you could definitely stop between trains and see the sites of New Orleans and Chicago both of which are endpoints on our trains.
