I would take the train. When I lived in Minnesota I used to travel by train all the time. It was cheaper than flying, and better than taking the nasty Greyhound bus. I took the bus once, and someone stole ALL of my damn luggage! It was my ENTIRE wardrobe! I had nothing to wear! I was so pissed off! I had to go out and buy my entire wardrobe so I would have clothes to wear! Because I never had access to my luggage on the bus, but on Amtrak I ALWAYS had access to my luggage, and therefore was always able to check on my luggage frequently to make sure nothing was stolen. And on Amtrak they always let me ride in the disabled car, more room in there, and I'm able to arrange the luggage in there so I can sleep on them like a bed, and less people in there, too. It's fun. I like to walk up and down the train cars, meet interesting people, and have fun. On the plane, you can't do that. You have to sit in a cramped seat for hours, and that kills my back and my hip (I have two injured discs at L3-L4 and at L4-L5 which is in my lower back, and I also have hip dysplasia in my left hip which I was born with). I need to be able to move around a lot.
