I work remotely in NY for a team in Virginia near DC. I make it a point to take Amtrak because of the carryon limits. Of course there's other perks, e.g. no TSA, less people, more seat room. At the end of the day I'm technically not paying for it (thanks corporate card), so it's a little easier for me to exercise my preferences, but if you book at the right time and trains are a possibility you can get reasonable prices.

Unfortunately, if I were to choose the train, it would be a 12-hour trip to Stuttgart, at the very minimum. By plane it's 1 hour 30 minutes (figure 2 hours 30 minutes including check-in and luggage). I'm not really the type of person to enjoy that long of a train ride.
