Default Amtrak travel in the winter

There is no train system in this country.

There's no question Amtrak offers limited destination options. And travel across the dividing line marked by Chicago will require a change in Chicago. Still, for wintertime travel, Amtrak offers something the airlines frequently don't--they keep moving. Granted, with major delays. But it takes several feet of snow to brings things to a complete halt. The airlines? Two flakes and everything shuts-down.
