Traveling from cincinnati to salt lake city help?

how much would a train ticket from cincinnati (or toledo) to salt lake city cost, and how long would it take?Traveling from cincinnati to salt lake city help?
Like booking a flight, the cost changes day-to-day, usually increasing the closer to the day of the trip you get.

The Amtrak site says that a trip booked right now for a departure on 2/5 (the closest date I could book) costs $325 one-way ($499 round-trip, not including taxes) and takes 44 hours (there is a connection in Chicago).

Meanwhile, a plane ticket for the same departure is going to cost $710, BUT it's only going to take 4 hours to get there. One-way would be $540. Also, keep in mind that these prices are way expensive because I looked up flights for THIS Saturday... Flights from CVG to SLC in two weeks are only $335 round-trip.

Not sure why anyone would take the train that far instead of flying and wasting 2 days of vacation.Traveling from cincinnati to salt lake city help?
This trip takes about 48 hours. Cost will vary depending on how far ahead you book (I found rates between $174 and $260 each way).
