Everywhere else traveling by train is fast, efficient, inexpensive and safe. In the US it is slow, in-efficient, and very expensive.
Amtrak should do more sleeper cars promotion. A roommate from Los Angeles to New York for $2000+ is crazy
They never have any deals like this for western US destinations....

Was thinking the same what a shame. I wonder if has to do with how densely packed NE is compared to the West. Also more people taking train in the NE?
While population density and city distance are likely reasons trains are popular in the northeast, the history of Amtrak may also explain why the northeast is its main priority. Amtrak was formed through the bailout of the old Penn Central Railroad. The management culture of Penn Central remains strong at Amtrak even 50 years later. As a result, the northeast gets priority as it was the core of the original railroad.

Because the government owns Amtrak. I heard once that for every sandwich they serve, it costs taxpayers 18 bucks.
