Check out what the train conditions will be like. If you are able to sit a safe distance away from others and take simple precautions (mask, hand sanitizer) your risk is minimal. Same with a plane.

Keep a mask on at all times; pull down the window if you’re on an Amtrak. You should be as safe as if walking around in your neighborhood I think.

Both are okay as long as you keep a window down

In the north east the trains are still more than half empty. Depends where you are and how crowded the train is.

I took Amtrak from San Diego to LA in late March and intentionally went to the last car. I had the entire two story car to myself. Still, an MIT study released a few weeks calculated the odds of getting covid from flying on an airline that doesn’t block middle seats at ~1:4,300 and the odds of getting covid from flying on an airline the does block middle seats at ~1:7,700. I wouldn’t be too worried.
