I've taken the train across the country several times. I don't hate to fly(it's getting pretty bad actually) but I love to take the train. I never get a sleeper and I recently discovered a way to make the journey way more comfortable: not one but two buckwheat hull pillows. I use them to sleep so I usually bring one but for some reason I decided to take two and ended up with one for my head and one under my butt. I suspect that they make the seats extra uncomfortable in an effort to sell sleepers. Anyway this arrangement solves the problem for me.
