Right, but the equivalent of trains that take multiple days are sleeper/red-eye flights of 5+ hours during which many people can catch up on some sleep.

I've taken that train as well and while it's nice for routes of around that distance, I'm not sure how it would be beneficial if you had to sit on it for days. That wouldn't be much of a sleeper trip.
