There are an increasing number of ultra-deluxe trains in Japan that aim to replicate the experience. Seven Stars is the original: https://www.cruisetrain-sevenstars.jp/english/ https://www.cruisetrain-sevenstars.jp/english/ Prices start at $4500 per person twin sharing for 4 nights, so not exactly cheap, but still a few orders of magnitude less than kitting out your own. Plus it's Japan, so you get a modern train, incredible service and everything runs like clockwork, none of those being terms you'd use to describe Amtrak. Fun facts: you're required to wear a tuxedo to dinner, and despite the price tag, the train is enormously popular and they need to use a lottery system to select who gets to ride.
