Intra-American distances are a lot shorter and more likely to attract passenger traffic than a sleeper car to Finland.

Don't get it twisted thinking it's about trips to Finland...how about Toronto to Tokyo in 25 hours?

Sounds scenic but I bet most people would value highly an extra day in Tokyo.

Hmmm, I hadn’t thought of layovers. Of course this assumes good switching & you’re not caught in a train yard in Alaska for 10 hours. :-)
